    Cygwin: cygheap: Initialize myself_pinfo before child_copy().
    
    After the commit 30add3e6b3e3, the problem:
    https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-December/252759.html
    occurs rarely. It seems that myself_pinfo should be initialized
    where the timing before child_copy() and after cygheap allocation.
    This patch moves the initialization there.
    
    Fixes: 30add3e6b3e3 ("Cygwin: exec: don't access cygheap before it's
    initialized")
