copy_process: pass clone_flags as u64 across calltree
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.
