No. If "/sbin/bridge-stp virbr0 start" terminated due to e.g. SIGSEGV
(for example, by inserting "kill -SEGV $$" into right after "#!/bin/sh" line),
br_stp_start() needs to select BR_KERNEL_STP path. We can't assume that
/sbin/bridge-stp is always terminated by exit() syscall (and hence we can't
ignore KWIFSIGNALED() case in call_usermodehelper_exec_sync()).
