pidns: kill the unnecessary CLONE_NEWPID in copy_process()
Commit 8382fcac1b81 ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_NEWPID if the forking process
unshared pid_ns. This is correct but unnecessary, copy_pid_ns() does
the same check.
Remove the CLONE_NEWPID check to cleanup the code and prepare for the
next change.
Test-case:
static int child(void *arg)
{
return 0;
}
static char stack[16 * 1024];
int main(void)
{
pid_t pid;
assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
pid = clone(child, stack + sizeof(stack) / 2,
CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);
assert(pid < 0 && errno == EINVAL);
return 0;
}
clone(CLONE_NEWPID) correctly fails with or without this change.
