Fix UTS corruption during clone(CLONE_NEWUTS)

struct utsname is copied from master one without any exclusion.

Here is sample output from one proggie doing

sethostname("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
sethostname("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb");

and another

clone(,, CLONE_NEWUTS, ...)
uname()

hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbb'
hostname = 'bbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbb'
hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabb'
hostname = 'aaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
hostname = 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'

Hostname is sometimes corrupted.

Yes, even _the_ simplest namespace activity had bug in it. :-(
