Merge tag 'kernel-clone-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull kernel_clone() updates from Christian Brauner:
 "During the v5.9 merge window we reworked the process creation
  codepaths across multiple architectures. After this work we were only
  left with the _do_fork() helper based on the struct kernel_clone_args
  calling convention. As was pointed out _do_fork() isn't valid
  kernelese especially for a helper that isn't just static.

  This series removes the _do_fork() helper and introduces the new
  kernel_clone() helper. The process creation cleanup didn't change the
  name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used
  in quite a few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the
  better strategy.

  I originally intended to send this early in the v5.9 development cycle
  after the merge window had closed but given that this was touching
  quite a few places I decided to defer this until the v5.10 merge
  window"
