[PATCH] tile: fix "odd fault" warning for stack backtraces

From: Chris Metcalf
Date: Thu May 07 2015 - 14:37:20 EST


We were setting ex1 in new kernel threads to KERNEL_PL.
But since we just do a simple context-switch, not an iret,
any value set here is ignored anyway, and its presence causes
stack backtraces to end with a warning about an "odd fault".
