clone was never used in a released jdk.
I would leave the internal docs. I left them in on purpose, because
it was not at all obvious why we chose not to use clone.
I'm especially fond of
- * On Linux, one might think that vfork() would be implemented using
- * the clone system call with flag CLONE_VFORK, but in fact vfork is
- * a separate system call (which is a good sign, suggesting that
- * vfork will continue to be supported at least on Linux).
Deleting the implementation using clone is a better idea; it's easy to
resurrect in the unlikely case someone will want to.

At one time clone() was used on Unix to spawn processes but no more.
Please review the cleanup of now dead code.
