Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc: Fix MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low warning again

From: Li Zhong <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 16:44:41 +0800

Saw this warning again, and this time from the ret_from_fork path. 

It seems we could clear the back chain earlier in copy_thread(), which
could cover both path, and also fix potential lockdep usage in
schedule_tail(), or exception occurred before we clear the back chain.
