Passing a stack-local child_pid to clone() with CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID is
unsafe: the kernel clears that address when the child exits, which may
happen after the test function has returned and the stack slot has been
reused.

Neither testcase uses the settid/cleartid pointers for synchronization.

Drop CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID and pass NULL for the
clone tid arguments. Wait for the clone child to exit via tkill in
test_sigsegv_handler_with_different_pkey_for_stack(), matching
test_pkru_sigreturn(), so the detached thread cannot overlap with the
next testcase.
