s390: fix race on TIF_MCCK_PENDING

Browse Source 
There is a small race window in the __switch_to code in regard to
the transfer of the TIF_MCCK_PENDING bit from the previous to the
next task. The bit is transferred before the task struct pointer
and the thread-info pointer for the next task has been stored to
lowcore. If a machine check sets the TIF_MCCK_PENDING bit between
the transfer code and the store of current/thread_info the bit
is still set for the previous task. And if the previous task has
terminated it can get lost. The effect is that a pending CRW is
not retrieved until the next machine checks sets TIF_MCCK_PENDING.
To fix this reorder __switch_to to first store the task struct
and thread-info pointer and then do the transfer of the bit.
