umh: fix race condition
kasan reported use-after-free:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in call_usermodehelper_exec_work+0x2d3/0x310 kernel/umh.c:195

The reason is that 'sub_info' cannot be accessed out of parent task
context, since it will be freed by the child.
Instead remember the pid in the child task.
