kthread: fix boot hang (regression) on MIPS/OpenRISC
commit b0f5a8f32e8bbdaae1abb8abe2d3cbafaba57e08 upstream.
This fixes a regression in commit 4d6501dce079 where I didn't notice
that MIPS and OpenRISC were reinitialising p->{set,clear}_child_tid to
NULL after our initialisation in copy_process().
We can simply get rid of the arch-specific initialisation here since it
is now always done in copy_process() before hitting copy_thread{,_tls}().
Review notes:
- As far as I can tell, copy_process() is the only user of
copy_thread_tls(), which is the only caller of copy_thread() for
architectures that don't implement copy_thread_tls().
- After this patch, there is no arch-specific code touching
p->set_child_tid or p->clear_child_tid whatsoever.
- It may look like MIPS/OpenRISC wanted to always have these fields be
NULL, but that's not true, as copy_process() would unconditionally
set them again _after_ calling copy_thread_tls() before commit
4d6501dce079.
Fixes: 4d6501dce079c1eb6bf0b1d8f528a5e81770109e ("kthread: Fix use-after-free if kthread fork fails")
