Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/6] x86: use _do_fork() in compat_sys_x86_clone()

It is trivial to directly call _do_fork() instead of the sys_clone()
syscall in compat_sys_x86_clone().

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
