[PATCH] Syslets - Fix cachemiss_thread return value

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Thu May 31 2007 - 14:27:44 EST


cachemiss_thread should explicitly return 0 or error instead of
task_ret_reg(current) (which is -ENOSYS anyway) because
async_thread_helper is careful to put the return value in eax anyway.

On x86_64, it looks like async_child_rip is similarly careful.
