The clone story:
When I sent V1 of this series, the upstream glibc (2.33) hadn't merge
the clone3 support. Now glibc 2.34 has merged clone3, so
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE seems can be removed. But I think there is
someone just download this series and suppose it can work with current
userspace. So I want to keep it for a while, until this series can be
merged.

The statx story:
The latest upstream glibc (2.34) is still like this
(sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fstatat64.c):
#if (__WORDSIZE == 32 \
     && (!defined __SYSCALL_WORDSIZE || __SYSCALL_WORDSIZE == 32)) \
     || defined STAT_HAS_TIME32
# define FSTATAT_USE_STATX 1
#else
# define FSTATAT_USE_STATX 0
#endif

This means statx is supposed to use in 32bit systems, or 64bit systems
with 32bit timestamp (e.g. MIPS64). So I think __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT is
still needed.

OK, sys_mmap2() will be removed. But can "move sys_mmap() to
mm/mmap.c" be done by others? (I think my credit is not enough to do
this, at least now).
