parentum: don't bother looking at regs in copy_thread() - current_pt_regs() is what... (diff)

alpha: simplify fork and friends
* no need to restore everything from switch_stack when we only need $26 * no need to pass current_pt_regs() manually, we can just as easily calculate it in alpha_clone/alpha_vfork ($8 + constant) * interpretation of zero usp as "use the parent's" is simpler in copy_thread(); let fork and vfork just pass 0.
