[Bug tapsets/10663] New: SDT semaphore value should not be carried across forks

When our utrace and uprobes hooks see a newly forked process, we place new
probes on those processes and if relevant we increase the semaphore anew.
However, the forked process has a copy of the old memory, so the semaphore
already carries a non-zero value.
We should ensure that our existing semaphore claims are removed from a process
that was just forked.
