malloc: Remove malloc hooks from fork handler
The fork handler now runs so late that there is no risk anymore that other fork handlers in the same thread use malloc, so it is no longer necessary to install malloc hooks which made a subset of malloc functionality available to the thread that called fork.

+ Remove malloc hooks from fork handler. They are no longer needed
+ because malloc runs right before fork, and no malloc calls from
+ other fork handlers are not possible anymore.
+ * malloc/malloc.c (malloc_atfork, free_atfork): Remove
+ declarations.
+ * malloc/arena.c (save_malloc_hook, save_free_hook, save_arena)
+ (ATFORK_ARENA_PTR, malloc_atfork, free_atfork)
+ (atfork_recursive_cntr): Remove.
+ (__malloc_fork_lock_parent): Do not override malloc hooks and
+ thread_arena.
+ (__malloc_fork_unlock_parent): Do not restore malloc hooks and
+ thread_arena.
+ (__malloc_fork_unlock_child): Do not restore malloc hooks. Use
+ thread_arena instead of save_arena.
