[PATCH] x86: Terminate the kernel stacks for the unwinder

Always make sure RIP/EIP is 0 in the registers stored on the top
of the stack of a kernel thread. This makes sure the unwinder code
won't try a fallback but knows the stack has ended.

AK: this patch is a bit mysterious. in theory they should be terminated
anyways, but it seems to fix at least one crash. Anyways double termination
probably doesn't hurt.
