not sure this comment is really useful but it doesn't hurt

OK, agreed. As you pointed out, this doesn't guarantee valid_signal(exit_signal).
But we do no really care as long as it is non-negative, it acts as exit_signal==0.

I have no idea if we want to deny exit_signal >= _NSIG in clone3(), this was always
allowed...

I think this needs the "CC: stable" tag.
