Jeff Dike 75e29b18d9 [PATCH] uml: stack usage reduction
The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack.  In order to overcome
an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single
register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full
pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and
returned one field.  do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two
local pt_regs, blowing out the stack.

This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just
return a single register from a jmp_buf.

The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of
jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c.  <setjmp.h>
shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc
setjmp/longjmp.
