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.
