Two things need to be done when vfork'ing:
- Must attach to parent's address environment (the addrenv is shared)
- Must allocate a kernel stack (where would the register context go otherwise)
Note that this code assumes the address environment is shared, since we
don't support fork() which would _clone_ the address environment instead.
when the thread to backtrace is exiting, get_tcb and up_backtrace in
different critical section may cause try to dump invalid pointer, have
to ensure the nxsched_get_tcb and up_backtrace inside same critical
section procedure.

Kthreads can share the group data so that to reduce overheads.
This implements shared kthread group via:
- use `tcb_s` instead of `task_tcb_s` for kthreads
- use `g_kthread_group` when creating kthreads
- use stackargs to start tasks and kthreads
see pull/12320 for test logs.

this_task() is a function call that involves disabling interrupts and this_cpu().
Since restore_critical_section is always called in an interrupt-disabled context,
there's no need to disable interrupts again. Therefore, to save time and achieve
the same effect, I directly call tcb = current_task(me) instead of tcb = this_task().

we can use g_cpu_lockset to determine whether we are currently in the scheduling lock,
and all accesses and modifications to g_cpu_lockset, g_cpu_irqlock, g_cpu_irqset
are in the critical section, so we can directly operate on it.

waitpid() cannot be used in kernel mode unless SCHED_HAVE_PARENT is
selected -> add dependency if BUILD_KERNEL is selected.
Why? Because without SCHED_HAVE_PARENT waitpid() works in a non-standard
way, meaning it does not use SIGCHLD to wake the parent, as it should.
Also, returning the child status via stat_loc corrupts memory as stat_loc
points to the parent's address environment:
pid_t nxsched_waitpid(pid_t pid, int *stat_loc, int options)
{
...
group->tg_statloc = stat_loc;
...
}
And later when the status is returned, the child writes to tg_statloc,
which points to the parent's address environment -> random memory
corruption:
static inline void nxtask_exitwakeup(FAR struct tcb_s *tcb, int status)
{
...
if (group->tg_statloc != NULL)
{
*group->tg_statloc = status << 8;
}
...
}
This log appears for NSH internal commands in KERNEL build and
duplicates a lot with task_spawn: log. So drop it to make the
DEBUG_SCHED_INFO logging more readable.
