The syzbot report a memleak follow:

after the UMD process exits, the pipe_to_umh/pipe_from_umh and tgid
need to be release.

Fixes: d71fa5c9763c ("bpf: Add kernel module with user mode driver that populates bpffs.")

v1->v2:
Judge whether the pointer variable tgid is valid.
v2->v3:
Add common umd_cleanup_helper() and exported as
symbol which the driver here can use.
