We are seeing failures in -next with the clone3 clone3_set_tid selftest
on at least arm and arm64 systems which have been bisected to this
commit, in -next as 88dec855ce117f52bcf88748ddcbb25b10f4f2fc (same
bisect for both):

For arm64 we're seeing a bunch of new failures including:

# # [389] Trying clone3() with CLONE_SET_TID to 391 and 0x0
# # File exists - Failed to create new process
# # [389] clone3() with CLONE_SET_TID 391 says: -17 - expected 0
# not ok 19 reallocate child TID with 1 TIDs and flags 0x0

# # [389] Trying clone3() with CLONE_SET_TID to 1 and 0x20000000
# # File exists - Failed to create new process
# # [389] clone3() with CLONE_SET_TID 1 says: -17 - expected 0
# not ok 21 create PID 1 in new NS with 2 TIDs and flags 0x20000000

# # [1] Trying clone3() with CLONE_SET_TID to 43 and 0x0
# # File exists - Failed to create new process
# # [1] clone3() with CLONE_SET_TID 43 says: -17 - expected 0
# not ok 24 check leak on invalid specific TID with 2 TIDs and flags 0x0

but there's more, 32 bit only seems to see one new failure (at least on
Beaglebone Black which is where I have that test running).

Bisect log, the start is my tooling feeding in test results it already
has to hand in the commit range to seed the bisect:
