[RFC PATCH 06/13] x86/um: nommu: process/thread handling

Since ptrace facility isn't used under !MMU of UML, there is different
code path to invoke proceeses/threads; on an entry to the syscall
interface, the stack pointer should be manipulated to handle vfork(2)
return address, no external process is used, and need to properlly
configure some of registers (fs segment register for TLS, etc) on every
contex switch, etc.

Signals aren't delivered in non-ptrace syscall entry/leave so, we also
need to handle pending signal by ourselves.
