Subject: [PATCH 02/14] Use sys_ni.c instead of #ifdef to disable fork on CONFIG_NOMMU

I think this change actually doesn't do anything: __NR_fork was still
being defined either way, and on my machine fork() in <unistd.h> comes
from libc.

This just moves to the standard mechanism for defining syscalls that
aren't implemented instead, which has the side-effect of no longer
having an #ifdef CONFIG_* in a user-visible header.
