    kernel - Fix long-standing vfork/exec bug
    
    * Fix an issue where the parent process can get stuck in the "ppwait"
      state due to a tsleep/wakeup race with its child.
    
    * This bug was present but masked by other tokens prior to a few patches
      ago.  With those tokens now gone this bug reared its face.
