Thanks to all the recent x86 entry code refactoring, most tasks' kernel stacks start at the same offset right below their saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to enter the kernel. That creates a nice convention which makes it straightforward to identify the end of the stack, which can be useful for the unwinder to verify the stack is sane. Calling schedule_tail() directly breaks that convention because its an asmlinkage function so its argument has to be pushed on the stack. Add a wrapper which creates a proper "end of stack" frame header before the call.
