fork: extend clone3() to support setting a PID

The main motivation to add set_tid to clone3() is CRIU.

To restore a process with the same PID/TID CRIU currently uses
/proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid. It writes the desired (PID - 1) to
ns_last_pid and then (quickly) does a clone(). This works most of the
time, but it is racy. It is also slow as it requires multiple syscalls.

Extending clone3() to support *set_tid makes it possible restore a
process using CRIU without accessing /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid and
race free (as long as the desired PID/TID is available).

This clone3() extension places the same restrictions (CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
on clone3() with *set_tid as they are currently in place for ns_last_pid.

The original version of this change was using a single value for
set_tid. At the 2019 LPC, after presenting set_tid, it was, however,
decided to change set_tid to an array to enable setting the PID of a
process in multiple PID namespaces at the same time. If a process is
created in a PID namespace it is possible to influence the PID inside
and outside of the PID namespace. Details also in the corresponding
selftest.

To create a process with the following PIDs:

      PID NS level         Requested PID
        0 (host)              31496
        1                        42
        2                         1

For that example the two newly introduced parameters to struct
clone_args (set_tid and set_tid_size) would need to be:

  set_tid[0] = 1;
  set_tid[1] = 42;
  set_tid[2] = 31496;
  set_tid_size = 3;

If only the PIDs of the two innermost nested PID namespaces should be
defined it would look like this:

  set_tid[0] = 1;
  set_tid[1] = 42;
  set_tid_size = 2;

The PID of the newly created process would then be the next available
free PID in the PID namespace level 0 (host) and 42 in the PID namespace
at level 1 and the PID of the process in the innermost PID namespace
would be 1.

The set_tid array is used to specify the PID of a process starting
from the innermost nested PID namespaces up to set_tid_size PID namespaces.

set_tid_size cannot be larger then the current PID namespace level.
