PM: prevent frozen user mode helpers from failing the freezing of tasks

At present, if a user mode helper is running while
usermodehelper_pm_callback() is executed, the helper may be frozen and the
completion in call_usermodehelper_exec() won't be completed until user
space processes are thawed.  As a result, the freezing of kernel threads
may fail, which is not desirable.

Prevent this from happening by introducing a counter of running user mode
helpers and allowing usermodehelper_pm_callback() to succeed for action =
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE or action = PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE only if there are no
helpers running.  [Namely, usermodehelper_pm_callback() waits for at most
RUNNING_HELPERS_TIMEOUT for the number of running helpers to become zero
and fails if that doesn't happen.]

Special thanks to Uli Luckas <u.luckas@road.de>, Pavel Machek
<pavel@ucw.cz> and Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> for reviewing the
previous versions of this patch and for very useful comments.
