Currently, calling clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME in clone_args->flags
fails with -EINVAL. This is because CLONE_NEWTIME intersects with
CSIGNAL. However, CSIGNAL was deprecated when clone3 was introduced in
commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3"), allowing re-use of that part
of clone flags.
Fix this by explicitly allowing CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3_args_valid. This
is also in line with the respective check in check_unshare_flags which
allow CLONE_NEWTIME for unshare().
Fixes: 769071ac9f20 ("ns: Introduce Time Namespace")
