fork: free thread in copy_process on failure

When using this program (as root):

	#include <err.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	#include <sys/io.h>
	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>

	#define ITER 1000
	#define FORKERS 15
	#define THREADS (6000/FORKERS) // 1850 is proc max

	static void fork_100_wait()
	{
		unsigned a, to_wait = 0;

		printf("\t%d forking %d\n", THREADS, getpid());

		for (a = 0; a < THREADS; a++) {
			switch (fork()) {
			case 0:
				usleep(1000);
				exit(0);
				break;
			case -1:
				break;
			default:
				to_wait++;
				break;
			}
		}

		printf("\t%d forked from %d, waiting for %d\n", THREADS, getpid(),
				to_wait);

		for (a = 0; a < to_wait; a++)
			wait(NULL);

		printf("\t%d waited from %d\n", THREADS, getpid());
	}

	static void run_forkers()
	{
		pid_t forkers[FORKERS];
		unsigned a;

		for (a = 0; a < FORKERS; a++) {
			switch ((forkers[a] = fork())) {
			case 0:
				fork_100_wait();
				exit(0);
				break;
			case -1:
				err(1, "DIE fork of %d'th forker", a);
				break;
			default:
				break;
			}
		}

		for (a = 0; a < FORKERS; a++)
			waitpid(forkers[a], NULL, 0);
	}

	int main()
	{
		unsigned a;
		int ret;

		ret = ioperm(10, 20, 0);
		if (ret < 0)
			err(1, "ioperm");

		for (a = 0; a < ITER; a++)
			run_forkers();

		return 0;
	}

kmemleak reports many occurences of this leak:
unreferenced object 0xffff8805917c8000 (size 8192):
  comm "fork-leak", pid 2932, jiffies 4295354292 (age 1871.028s)

...

Due to the leakage of the memory items which should have been freed in
arch/x86/kernel/process.c:exit_thread().

Make sure the memory is freed when fork fails later in copy_process.
This is done by calling exit_thread with the thread to kill.
