; Return to user space
; 1. Any forked task (Reach here via BRne above)
; 2. First ever init task (Reach here via return from JL above)
; This is the historic "kernel_execve" use-case, to return to init
; user mode, in a round about way since that is always done from
; a kernel thread which is executed via JL above but always returns
; out whenever kernel_execve (now inline do_fork()) is involved
