This fixes a regression in commit 4d6501dce079 where I didn't notice
that MIPS and OpenRISC were reinitialising p->{set,clear}_child_tid to
NULL after our initialisation in copy_process().
We can simply get rid of the arch-specific initialisation here since it
is now always done in copy_process() before hitting copy_thread{,_tls}().
Review notes:
- As far as I can tell, copy_process() is the only user of
copy_thread_tls(), which is the only caller of copy_thread() for
architectures that don't implement copy_thread_tls().
- After this patch, there is no arch-specific code touching
p->set_child_tid or p->clear_child_tid whatsoever.
- It may look like MIPS/OpenRISC wanted to always have these fields be
NULL, but that's not true, as copy_process() would unconditionally
set them again _after_ calling copy_thread_tls() before commit
4d6501dce079.

If a kthread forks (e.g. usermodehelper since commit 1da5c46fa965) but
fails in copy_process() between calling dup_task_struct() and setting
p->set_child_tid, then the value of p->set_child_tid will be inherited
from the parent and get prematurely freed by free_kthread_struct().
kthread()
- worker_thread()
- process_one_work()
| - call_usermodehelper_exec_work()
| - kernel_thread()
| - _do_fork()
| - copy_process()
| - dup_task_struct()
| - arch_dup_task_struct()
| - tsk->set_child_tid = current->set_child_tid // implied
| - ...
| - goto bad_fork_*
| - ...
| - free_task(tsk)
| - free_kthread_struct(tsk)
| - kfree(tsk->set_child_tid)
- ...
- schedule()
- __schedule()
- wq_worker_sleeping()
- kthread_data(task)->flags // UAF
The problem started showing up with commit 1da5c46fa965 since it reused
->set_child_tid for the kthread worker data.
A better long-term solution might be to get rid of the ->set_child_tid
abuse. The comment in set_kthread_struct() also looks slightly wrong.
