misc/tst-clone3: Fix waiting for exited thread.
From time to time the test misc/tst-clone3 fails with a timeout. Then futex_wait is blocking. Usually ctid should be set to zero due to CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID and the futex should be waken up. But the fail occures if the thread has already exited before ctid is set to the return value of clone(). Then futex_wait() will block as there will be nobody who wakes the futex up again. This patch initializes ctid to a known value before calling clone and the kernel is the only one who updates the value to zero after clone. If futex_wait is called then it is either waked up due to the exited thread or the futex syscall fails as *ctid_ptr is already zero instead of the specified value 1. ChangeLog: * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-clone3.c (do_test): Initialize ctid with a known value and remove update of ctid after clone. (wait_tid): Adjust arguments and call futex_wait with ctid_val as assumed current value of ctid_ptr.
