Subject: [PATCH 1/7] clone: kill CLONE_STOPPED

CLONE_STOPPED has been deprecated and generating warning messages
since 2.6.25 with recycling scheduled for 2.6.26.  Remove it to
prepare for signal stop / ptrace cleanup.

For more details, please refer to the commit bdff746a (clone: prepare
to recycle CLONE_STOPPED).
