[PATCH v3 09/16] umh: Stop calling do_execve_file

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Thu Jul 02 2020 - 12:48:11 EST


With the user mode driver code changed to not set subprocess_info.file
there are no more users of subproces_info.file. Remove this field
from struct subprocess_info and remove the only user in
call_usermodehelper_exec_async that would call do_execve_file instead
of do_execve if file was set.
