[PATCH] uml: cleanup run_helper() API to fix a leak
Freeing the stack is left uselessly to the caller of run_helper in some cases
- this is taken from run_helper_thread, but here it is useless, so no caller
needs it and the only place where this happens has a potential leak - in case
of error neither run_helper() nor xterm_open() call free_stack(). At this
point passing a pointer is not needed - the stack pointer should be passed
directly, but this change is not done here.
