This fixes a regression in commit 4d6501dce079 where I didn't notice
that MIPS and OpenRISC were reinitialising p->{set,clear}_child_tid to
NULL after our initialisation in copy_process().
We can simply get rid of the arch-specific initialisation here since it
is now always done in copy_process() before hitting copy_thread{,_tls}().
Review notes:
- As far as I can tell, copy_process() is the only user of
copy_thread_tls(), which is the only caller of copy_thread() for
architectures that don't implement copy_thread_tls().
- After this patch, there is no arch-specific code touching
p->set_child_tid or p->clear_child_tid whatsoever.
- It may look like MIPS/OpenRISC wanted to always have these fields be
NULL, but that's not true, as copy_process() would unconditionally
set them again _after_ calling copy_thread_tls() before commit
4d6501dce079.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
