nit: I presume it should be s/Zqiang/Qiang Zhang/ as real name for 'From'
instead of abbreviation?

The above is pretty much a reimplementation of ...

static void umd_cleanup(struct subprocess_info *info)
{
         struct umd_info *umd_info = info->data;

         /* cleanup if umh_setup() was successful but exec failed */
         if (info->retval) {
                 fput(umd_info->pipe_to_umh);
                 fput(umd_info->pipe_from_umh);
                 put_pid(umd_info->tgid);
                 umd_info->tgid = NULL;
         }
}

... so if there are ever changes to umd_cleanup() for additional resource
cleanup, we'd be missing those easily in bpf_preload_umh_cleanup(). I'd
suggest to refactor a common helper inside kernel/usermode_driver.c that
is then exported as symbol which the driver here can use.
