Currently, calling clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME in clone_args->flags fails with -EINVAL. This is because CLONE_NEWTIME intersects with CSIGNAL. However, CSIGNAL was deprecated when clone3 was introduced in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3"), allowing re-use of that part of clone flags.

Fix this by explicitly allowing CLONE_NEWTIME in clone3_args_valid. This is also in line with the respective check in check_unshare_flags which allow CLONE_NEWTIME for unshare().
