The aim of this helper function is to spawn a child process in
which new scheduling group is created. This dummy process will
then used to distribute scheduling group from (e.g. when starting
helper processes or QEMU itself). The process is not needed for
QEMU_SCHED_CORE_NONE case (obviously) nor for
QEMU_SCHED_CORE_VCPUS case (because in that case a slightly
different child will be forked off).
