On ARM64 the stack pointer should be aligned at a 16 byte boundary or
the SPAlignmentFault can occur. The fexit_sleep selftest allocates the
stack for the child process as a character array, this is not guaranteed
to be aligned at 16 bytes.
Because of the SPAlignmentFault, the child process is killed before it
can do the nanosleep call and hence fentry_cnt remains as 0. This causes
the main thread to hang on the following line:
while (READ_ONCE(fexit_skel->bss->fentry_cnt) != 2);
Fix this by allocating the stack using mmap() as described in the
example in the man page of clone().
Remove the fexit_sleep test from the DENYLIST of arm64.
