Thanks!

Yes. But if it fails before exec_mmap() (which in particular calls
mm_release()->complete_vfork_done()) we are safe; sub_info can't go away
because the parent sleeps in sys_wait4() if UMH_WAIT_PROC, or it sleeps
in wait_for_vfork_done() otherwise.

But this is minor, and this only relates to the changelog. So still/again
