Subject: [PATCH 7/7] x86/process: Clear PASID state for a newly forked/cloned thread

The PASID state has to be cleared on forks, since the child has a
different address space. The PASID is also cleared for thread clone. While
it would be correct to inherit the PASID in this case, it is unknown
whether the new task will use ENQCMD. Giving it the PASID "just in case"
would have the downside of increased context switch overhead to setting
the PASID MSR.

Since #GP faults have to be handled on any threads that were created before
the PASID was assigned to the mm of the process, newly created threads
might as well be treated in a consistent way.
