driver: base: Disable CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER by default
Since commit7934779a69
("Driver-Core: disable /sbin/hotplug by default"), the help text for the /sbin/hotplug fork-bomb says "This should not be used today [...] creates a high system load, or [...] out-of-memory situations during bootup". The rationale for this was that no recent mainstream system used this anymore (in 2010!). A few years later, the complete uevent helper support was made optional in commit86d56134f1
("kobject: Make support for uevent_helper optional."). However, if was still left enabled by default, to support ancient userland. Time passed by, and nothing should use this anymore, so it can be disabled by default.
