[PATCH] uml: fix TT mode by reverting "use fork instead of clone" 

With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different
environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged
lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has
caused problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it
shouldn't have been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion
in the -stable tree.  Anyone using this feature currently is either using
some older kernel (some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this
patch, as included in my -bs patchset.

For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is
to drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel, and as such
was even merged in -stable tree).

"Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork.  They were
essentially doing fork anyway.  This cleans up the code a bit, and makes
valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."
