Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/32: Remove schedule_tail_wrapper()

The unwinder expects a return address at the very top of the kernel
stack just below pt_regs and before any stack frame is created.  Instead
of calling a wrapper, set up a return address as if ret_from_fork()
was called from the syscall entry code.
