Subject: [PATCH 3.16 125/305] um: Give start_idle_thread() a return code

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>

commit 7ff1e34bbdc15acab823b1ee4240e94623d50ee8 upstream.

Fixes:
arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c:613:1: warning: control reaches end of
non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

longjmp() never returns but gcc still warns that the end of the function
can be reached.
Add a return code and debug aid to detect this impossible case.
