Call __libc_arm_za_disable before syscall to clear ZA state of SME for the
clone and clone3 syscalls.

I had to implement test for clone3() in a but hacky way, hopefully it's OK.

Checked on AArch64 and no regressions found. OK for trunk?

base commit: 0a027674a1

Changes in v2:
 - Rebased on recent master.
 - v1: https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/?series=47709
