Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there. So we simply pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer. This fixes a real bug and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read as a number by UML, when calling read_output(). I verified the obtained number corresponded to "BUG:"). The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of this gradually).
