From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <[email protected]>
Newly forked threads have no arch_switch_to_skas() called before their first
run, because when schedule() switches to them they're resumed in the body of
thread_wait() inside fork_handler() rather than in switch_threads() in
switch_to_skas().
Compensate this missing call.
