Hey Sasha,

This has now landed in mainline (cf. [2]).
I would suggest to backport [1] together with [2].
The patch in [1] only documents struct clone_args and has no functional
changes.
If you prefer to only backport a v5.3 specific version of [2] you can
find it inline (cf. [3]) including the base commit info for the 5.3 stable
tree.
