[GIT PULL] arm64 fixes for 7.4-rc1

[Catalin Marinas]

Hi Linus,

Here are three fixes that turned up during the merging window: shadow
stack not freed during a failed fork or it is unmapped from parent when
a worker thread exits (same commit covers both); PTE_CONT set on
PROT_NONE entries but subsequently ignored by the unfolding code since
pte_valid() is false (pte_present() is true); an MPAM lock not released
on the error path. Thanks!

The following changes since commit d0de3a73194a250a2e5ffbf1dc604c0bcbb16e8a:

  Merge branch 'for-next/fw-rmi' into for-next/core (2026-10-15 19:09:31 +0100)

  selftests/arm64: GCS must not leak on a failed clone3 (2026-10-29 20:42:23 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 fixes:

 - Release the GCS on a failed fork. copy_thread() can allocate a GCS
   for CLONE_VM threads but a later copy_process() failure left the VMA
   in the parent's mm. Implement exit_thread() to free it and stop
   kernel threads and user workers inheriting the parent's GCS
   base/size. Add a kselftest for the clone3() failure case

 - Do not set PTE_CONT on invalid PTEs in contpte_set_ptes(). Batched
   set_ptes() of present-invalid entries (e.g. PROT_NONE) created contpte
   groups that the single-PTE helpers did not unfold, corrupting a
   neighbouring guard marker via test_and_clear_young_ptes()

 - Release the MPAM mon_sel lock on the mpam_save_mbwu_state() error
   paths
