forked from mirrors/linux
		
	fork() clones all thread_info flags, including TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY; if the new task is first scheduled on a cpu which doesn't have user return notifiers set, this causes user return notifiers to trigger without any way of clearing itself. This is easy to trigger with a forky workload on the host in parallel with kvm, resulting in a cpu in an endless loop on the verge of returning to userspace. Fix by dropping the TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY immediately after fork.
