fork: kill the pointless lower_32_bits() in create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread()

Unlike sys_clone(), these helpers have only in kernel users which should
pass the correct "flags" argument.  lower_32_bits(flags) just adds the
unnecessary confusion and doesn't allow to use the CLONE_ flags which
don't fit into 32 bits.

create_io_thread() looks especially confusing because:

	- "flags" is a compile-time constant, so lower_32_bits() simply
	  has no effect

	- .exit_signal = (lower_32_bits(flags) & CSIGNAL) is harmless but
	  doesn't look right, copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) will ignore this
	  argument anyway.

None of these helpers actually need CLONE_UNTRACED or "& ~CSIGNAL", but
their presence does not add any confusion and improves code clarity.
