x86/shstk: Remove useless clone error handling
When clone fails after the shadow stack is allocated, any allocated shadow
stack is cleaned up in exit_thread() in copy_process(). So the logic in
copy_thread() is unneeded, and also will not handle failures that happen
outside of copy_thread().
In addition, since there is a second attempt to unmap the same shadow
stack, there is a race where an newly mapped region could get unmapped.
So remove the logic in copy_thread() and rely on exit_thread() to handle
clone failure.
