Ignore the above bit, I missed that you are already using two independent addresses (in edx and edi), so atomicity is not an issue. It might be cleaner to use a single address pointing to two consecutive words anyway (for CLONE_SETTID and CLONE_VM_RELEASE) just to save a register for future use - register pressure around clone() being a precious thing, occasionally.
