x86-64: remove locked instruction from switch_to()
Impact: micro-optimization The patch below removes an unnecessary locked instruction from switch_to(). TIF_FORK is only ever set in copy_thread() on initial process creation, and gets cleared during the first scheduling of the process. As such, it is safe to use an unlocked test for the flag within switch_to(). Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
