umd: Stop using split_argv
There is exactly one argument so there is nothing to split. All split_argv does now is cause confusion and avoid the need for a cast when passing a "const char *" string to call_usermodehelper_setup. So avoid confusion and the possibility of an odd driver name causing problems by just using a fixed argv array with a cast in the call to call_usermodehelper_setup. v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87sged3a9n.fsf_-_@x220.int.ebiederm.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200702164140.4468-16-ebiederm@xmission.com Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Tested-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
