[PATCH stable 6.12 2/9] um: Set parent death signal for winch thread/process

[Florian Fainelli]

From: Benjamin Berg <benjam...@intel.com>

commit fdb2ecd35d327a1fc6bba69b97f85b494e1f4b6b upstream

The winch "thread" is really a separate process. Using prctl to set
PR_SET_PDEATHSIG ensures that this separate thread will be killed if the
UML kernel itself dies unexpectedly and does not perform proper cleanup.
