Fix UTS corruption during clone(CLONE_NEWUTS)
struct utsname is copied from master one without any exclusion.
Here is sample output from one proggie doing
sethostname("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
sethostname("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb");
and another
clone(,, CLONE_NEWUTS, ...)
uname()
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbb'
hostname = 'bbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbb'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabb'
hostname = 'aaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
hostname = 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
Hostname is sometimes corrupted.
Yes, even _the_ simplest namespace activity had bug in it. :-(
