Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] KEYS: split call to call_usermodehelper_fns()

Use call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec() instead of
calling call_usermodehelper_fns(). In case there's an OOM in this last
function the cleanup function may not be called - in this case we would
miss a call to key_put().

Changes from v2: simplify error handling as suggested by Oleg.
