Linux: Do not align the stack for __clone3
All internal callers of __clone3 should provide an already aligned stack. Removing the stack alignment in __clone3 is a net gain: it simplifies the internal function contract (mask/unmask signals) along with the arch-specific code. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

Different than kernel, the implementation also returns EINVAL for an
invalid NULL __CL_ARGS or __FUNC (similar to __clone).

This function is only implemented if the ABI defines HAVE_CLONE3_WRAPPER.
