Subject[ 013/184] kmod: introduce call_modprobe() helper
2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

commit 3e63a93b987685f02421e18b2aa452d20553a88b upstream

No functional changes. Move the call_usermodehelper code from
__request_module() into the new simple helper, call_modprobe().
