fork.c: fix NULL pointer dereference when nr_threads == threads-max



I happened to forked lots of processes, and hit NULL pointer dereference.
It is because in copy_process() after checking max_threads, 0 is returned
but not -EAGAIN.

The bug is introduced by "CRED: Detach the credentials from task_struct"
(commit f1752eec).
