[PATCH v12 02/12] clone3: switch to copy_struct_from_user()

Aleksa Sarai

The change is very straightforward, and takes advantage of the (very
minor) efficiency improvements in copy_struct_from_user() -- that the
memchr_inv() check is done on a buffer instead of one-at-at-time with
get_user().

Additionally, explicitly define CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER0 to match the other
users of the struct-extension pattern.
