[RFC PATCH for 4.18] rseq: cleanup: no need to abort rseq c.s. in child on fork

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Considering that we explicitly forbid system calls in rseq critical
sections, it is not valid to issue a fork or clone system call within a
rseq critical section, so rseq_fork() is not required to restart an
active rseq c.s. in the child process.
