Wire up the clone3() syscall for m68k. The special entry point is done in
assembler as was done for clone() as well. This is needed because all
registers need to be saved. The C wrapper then calls the generic
sys_clone3() with the correct arguments.

Tested on A1200 using the simple test program from:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190716130631.tohj4ub54md25dys@xxxxxxxxxx/

Please note that we now have a growing test-suite for the clone3()
syscall under
tools/testing/selftests/clone3/*

You can test on a suitable kernel with

make TARGETS=clone3 kselftest

I'm afraid my user space is almost prehistoric. I have a homebrewn
root filesystem of about 2001 vintage, and another one with Debian
3.1.
So until I have bootstrapped a more recent one, I'll leave that to others ;-)

With Ubuntu's libc6-m68k-cross installed, the selftest binaries cross-build
fine.  Running them on a very old Debian requires some hackery:

  1. Copy ld.so.1, ld-2.27.so, libc.so.6, and libc-2.27.so from
     /usr/m68k-linux-gnu/lib/ to /tmp/lib on the m68k target,
  2. mkdir /tmp/proc && mount proc /tmp/proc -t proc,
  3. chroot /tmp /tmp/<test-binary>.

Unfortunately some tests failed:

Thanks for going through the trouble of testing this, Geert!
Christian
