[RFC v6 07/21] um: extend arch_switch_to for alternate SUBARCH

This commit introduces additional argument of previous task when
context switch happens.  New SUBARCH can use the new information to
switch tasks in a subarch-specific manner.

The patch is particularly required by nommu mode implemented as a
SUBARCH of UML.
