[PATCH v2 2/4] riscv/shstk: release shadow stack on failed fork

["Iván Ezequiel Rodriguez" <ivanrwcm25@gmail.com>]

copy_thread() maps a shadow stack for a CLONE_VM child and can still
return 0. A later copy_process() failure, including clone3()
CLONE_PIDFD when put_user() fails, goes through
bad_fork_cleanup_thread and exit_thread(). riscv did not select
HAVE_EXIT_THREAD, so that free was a no-op. shstk_release() already
documents this call. Normal task exit reaches it through
deactivate_mm(), while the failed-fork path did not.

Select HAVE_EXIT_THREAD and call shstk_release() from
exit_thread(). The helper already refuses a different mm and a
cleared base, so CLONE_VFORK, !CLONE_VM, and a second call after
deactivate_mm() stay no-ops.

Do not free when shstk_alloc_thread_stack() fails. That error
returns from copy_thread() with the inherited parent base still in
place, and copy_process() skips exit_thread() on that path.

Tasks created through the args->fn path (kernel_thread(),
create_io_thread(), and similar) do not allocate a user shadow
stack in copy_thread(). They still inherit tracking via
arch_dup_task_struct(), and with CLONE_VM a later failed
copy_process() still shares the caller's mm, so shstk_release()'s
mm check does not save us. Clear that tracking with
set_shstk_base().
