[RFC PATCH 13/24] fork: let new tasks start with task work

[Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>]

Process builders need to run setup in the child before its first return
to userspace without storing a kernel callback in architecture-specific
saved registers.

Allow an internal clone caller to supply task work. Queue it after the
last ordinary fork failure check, while the child is still TASK_NEW. A
NULL work pointer leaves existing clone callers unchanged.
