[RFC PATCH v1 16/28] riscv/shstk: If needed allocate a new shadow stack on clone

[debug@rivosinc.com]

From: Deepak Gupta <debug@rivosinc.com>

Userspace specifies VM_CLONE to share address space and spawn new thread.
`clone` allow userspace to specify a new stack for new thread. However
there is no way to specify new shadow stack base address without changing
API. This patch allocates a new shadow stack whenever VM_CLONE is given.

In case of VM_FORK, parent is suspended until child finishes and thus can
child use parent shadow stack. In case of !VM_CLONE, COW kicks in because
entire address space is copied from parent to child.

`clone3` is extensible and can provide mechanisms using which shadow stack
as an input parameter can be provided. This is not settled yet and being
extensively discussed on mailing list. Once that's settled, this commit
will adapt to that.
