[PATCH 4/4] um: Prohibit the VM_CLONE flag in run_helper_thread()

[Tiwei Bie]

Directly creating helper threads with VM_CLONE using clone can
compromise the thread safety of errno. Since all these helper
threads have been converted to use os_run_helper_thread(), let's
prevent using this flag in run_helper_thread().
