[PATCH v4 04/10] selftests/harness: Fix interleaved scheduling leading to race conditions

["Mickaël Salaün" <mic@digikod.net>]

Fix a race condition when running several FIXTURE_TEARDOWN() managing
the same resource.  This fixes a race condition in the Landlock file
system tests when creating or unmounting the same directory.

Using clone3() with CLONE_VFORK guarantees that the child and grandchild
test processes are sequentially scheduled.  This is implemented with a
new clone3_vfork() helper replacing the fork() call.

This avoids triggering this error in __wait_for_test():
  Test ended in some other way [127]

Changes since v2:
* Replace __attribute__((__unused__)) with inline for clone3_vfork()
  (suggested by Kees and Jakub)
