[PATCH] Create call_usermodehelper_pipe() 

A new member in the ever growing family of call_usermode* functions is
born.  The new call_usermodehelper_pipe() function allows to pipe data to
the stdin of the called user mode progam and behaves otherwise like the
normal call_usermodehelp() (except that it always waits for the child to
finish)
