[RFC PATCH 2/6] um: acquire a stub pidfd via CLONE_PIDFD in seccomp mode

From: Cong Wang <[email protected]>

In SECCOMP mode the monitor will install guest mappings into the stub's
address space directly via pidfd_mmap(), so it needs a pidfd to the
stub. Acquire one atomically at clone() time via CLONE_PIDFD (returned
through the legacy-clone parent_tid argument), store it in
mm_id->stub_pidfd, and close it on teardown. The ptrace (SKAS0) mode
does not use pidfd_mmap and leaves stub_pidfd as -1.
