s390: always save and restore all registers on context switch
The switch_to() macro has an optimization to avoid saving and restoring register contents that aren't needed for kernel threads. There is however the possibility that a kernel thread execve's a user space program. In such a case the execve'd process can partially see the contents of the previous process, which shouldn't be allowed. To avoid this, simply always save and restore register contents on context switch.
