Revert "fs/exec: allow to unshare a time namespace on vfork+exec"
This reverts commit 133e2d3e81de5d9706cab2dd1d52d231c27382e5.
Alexey pointed out a few undesirable side effects of the reverted change.
First, it doesn't take into account that CLONE_VFORK can be used with
CLONE_THREAD. Second, a child process doesn't enter a target time name-space,
if its parent dies before the child calls exec. It happens because the parent
clears vfork_done.
Eric W. Biederman suggests installing a time namespace as a task gets a new mm.
It includes all new processes cloned without CLONE_VM and all tasks that call
exec(). This is an user API change, but we think there aren't users that depend
on the old behavior.
It is too late to make such changes in this release, so let's roll back
this patch and introduce the right one in the next release.
