Olivier Brunel 876dcf2f3a umh: Add command line to user mode helpers
User mode helpers were spawned without a command line, and because
an empty command line is used by many tools to identify processes as
kernel threads, this could cause some issues.

Notably during killing spree on shutdown, since such helper would then
be skipped (i.e. not killed) which would result in the process remaining
alive, and thus preventing unmouting of the rootfs (as experienced with
the bpfilter umh).

Fixes: 449325b52b ("umh: introduce fork_usermode_blob() helper")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
