sys_unshare: remove the dead CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM code

Cleanup: kill the dead code which does nothing but complicates the code
and confuses the reader.

sys_unshare(CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM) is not really implemented, and I
doubt very much it will ever work.  At least, nobody even tried since the
original 99d1419d ("unshare system call -v5: system call
handler function") was applied more than 4 years ago.

And the code is not consistent.  unshare_thread() always fails
unconditionally, while unshare_sighand() and unshare_vm() pretend to work
if there is nothing to unshare.

Remove unshare_thread(), unshare_sighand(), unshare_vm() helpers and
related variables and add a simple CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND| CLONE_VM
check into check_unshare_flags().

Also, move the "CLONE_NEWNS needs CLONE_FS" check from
check_unshare_flags() to sys_unshare().  This looks more consistent and
matches the similar do_sysvsem check in sys_unshare().

Note: with or without this patch "atomic_read(mm->mm_users) > 1" can give
a false positive due to get_task_mm().
