um: kill thread->forking
we only use that to tell copy_thread() done by syscall from that done by kernel_thread(). However, it's easier to do simply by checking PF_KTHREAD in thread flags. Merge sys_clone() guts for 32bit and 64bit, while we are at it... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
