Lennart Poettering 799a960d1f raw-clone: beef up raw_clone() wrapper a bit
First of all, let's return pid_t, which appears to be the correct type
given that we return PIDs, and it#s what fork() uses too.

Most importantly though, flush out our PID cache, so that the call
becomes compatible with our getpid_cached() logic.

/**
* raw_clone() - uses clone to create a new process with clone flags
* @flags: Flags to pass to the clone system call
*
* Uses the clone system call to create a new process with the cloning flags and termination signal passed in the flags
* parameter. Opposed to glibc's clone funtion, using this function does not set up a separate stack for the child, but
* relies on copy-on-write semantics on the one stack at a common virtual address, just as fork does.
*
* To obtain copy-on-write semantics, flags must not contain CLONE_VM, and thus CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_SIGHAND (which
* require CLONE_VM) are not usable.
*
* Additionally, as this function does not pass the ptid, newtls and ctid parameters to the kernel, flags must not
* contain CLONE_PARENT_SETTID, CLONE_CHILD_SETTID, CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID or CLONE_SETTLS.
*
* Returns: 0 in the child process and the child process id in the parent.
