posix: Fix posix_spawn invalid memory access
Current Linux posix_spawn spawn do not test if the pid argument is valid before trying to update it for success case. This patch fixes it. Tested on x86_64 and i686. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawnix): Fix invalid memory access where posix_spawn success and pid argument is null. * posix/tst-spawn.c (do_test): Add posix_spawn null pid argument for success case.
