selftests/harness: Fix vfork() side effects
Setting the time namespace with CLONE_NEWTIME returns -EUSERS if the
calling thread shares memory with another thread (because of the shared
vDSO), which is the case when it is created with vfork().

Fix pidfd_setns_test by replacing test harness's vfork() call with a
clone3() call with CLONE_VFORK, and an explicit sharing of the
_metadata and self objects.

Replace _metadata->teardown_parent with a new FIXTURE_TEARDOWN_PARENT()
helper that can replace FIXTURE_TEARDOWN().  This is a cleaner approach
and it enables to selectively share the fixture data between the child
process running tests and the parent process running the fixture
teardown.  This also avoids updating several tests to not rely on the
self object's copy-on-write property (e.g. storing the returned value of
a fork() call).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
