Subject: [PATCH] PM / Hibernate: Enable usermodehelpers in software_resume()
 error path

In the software_resume() function defined in kernel/power/hibernate.c,
if the call to create_basic_memory_bitmaps() fails, the usermodehelpers
are not enabled (which had been disabled in the previous step). Fix it.
