When a child process exits, it sends exit_signal to its parent via
do_notify_parent(). The clone() syscall constructs exit_signal as:

  (lower_32_bits(clone_flags) & CSIGNAL)

CSIGNAL is 0xff, so values in the range 65-255 are possible. However,
valid_signal() only accepts signals up to _NSIG (64 on x86_64), causing
a WARN_ON in do_notify_parent() when the process exits:

  WARNING: kernel/signal.c:2174 do_notify_parent+0xc7e/0xd70

The syzkaller reproducer triggers this by calling clone() with
flags=0x80, resulting in exit_signal = (0x80 & CSIGNAL) = 128, which
exceeds _NSIG and is not a valid signal.

The comment above kernel_clone() states that callers are expected to
validate exit_signal. clone3() correctly does this:

  if (unlikely((args.exit_signal & ~((u64)CSIGNAL)) ||
               !valid_signal(args.exit_signal)))
          return -EINVAL;

The clone() syscall has no such check. Add the missing valid_signal()
check to clone(), consistent with the existing validation in clone3().
