The kernel_thread() changes for FRV don't work, and FRV fails to boot,
starting with:

	Subject: frv: split ret_from_fork, simplify kernel_thread() a lot

The problem is that the userspace registers are completely cleared when a
kernel thread is created and all subsequent user threads are then copied from
that.  Unfortunately, however, the TBR and PSR registers are restored from the
pt_regs and the values they should be set to are clobbered by the memset.

Instead, copy across the old user registers as normal, and then merely alter
GR8 and GR9 in it if we're going to execute a kernel thread.
