commit 57ae0b67b747031bc41fb44643aa5344ab58607e upstream.
The previous fix here was only partially correct, it did
result in returning a proper error value in case of error,
but it also clobbered the pid that we need to return from
this function (not just zero for success).
As a result, it returned 0 here, but later this is treated
as a pid and used to kill the process, but since it's now
0 we kill(0, SIGKILL), which makes UML kill itself rather
than just the helper thread.
Fix that and make it more obvious by using a separate
variable for the pid.
