kmod: don't run async usermode helper as a child of kworker thread

call_usermodehelper_exec_sync() does fork() + wait() with "unignored"
SIGCHLD.  What we have missed is that this worker thread can have other
children previously forked by call_usermodehelper_exec_work() without
UMH_WAIT_PROC.  If such a child exits in between it becomes a zombie
because auto-reaping only works if SIGCHLD is ignored, and nobody can
reap it (unless/until this worker thread exits too).

Change the !UMH_WAIT_PROC case to use CLONE_PARENT.

Note: this is only first step.  All PF_KTHREAD tasks, even created by
kernel_thread() should have ->parent == kthreadd by default.

Fixes: bb304a5c6fc63d8506c ("kmod: handle UMH_WAIT_PROC from system unbound workqueue")
