[LTP] [PATCH v3 2/5] syscalls/clone03: Convert to new API

[Richard Palethorpe]

Hello,

This is a big improvement. However there are some things from the old
test which can be improved.

tst_clone is the new API.

atoi is deprecated (see the man page).

You could mmap a region needed for pid_t and just read and write it like
a normal variable.
