Unfortunately, it doesn't. I think, the best place for the check is
either in _do_fork or copy_process itself; however, it's quite messy as
that way it's detached from the other checks, but, at the same time,
there are a lot of code paths (like the one in arch/x86/ia32/sys_ia32.c),
and it's kinda obscure that the caller of _do_fork has to check that
exit_syscall is positive itself.
