/*
With the user mode driver code changed to not set subprocess_info.file there are no more users of subproces_info.file. Remove this field from struct subprocess_info and remove the only user in call_usermodehelper_exec_async that would call do_execve_file instead of do_execve if file was set. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
