What if the size is lesser than offsetof(struct clone_args, stack_size)?
Probably, there should be still a check that it's not lesser than what's
the required minimum..

Also note, that (kargs) and (args) are a bit different beasts in this
context..
kargs lies on the stack and might want to be with zero-initializer
:       struct kernel_clone_args kargs = {};
