Subject: Dont touch fs_struct in usermodehelper
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db74ece990ea59a9ec9f00f8881026059ef5caf5;p=linux-beck.git

Dont touch fs_struct in usermodehelper

This test seems to be unnecessary since we always have rootfs mounted before
calling a usermodehelper.
