riscv will need an implementation for exit_thread to clean up shadow stack

FWIW both arm64 and x86 do this via deactivate_mm(). ISTR there's some
case where exit_thread() doesn't quite do the right thing but I can't
remember the specifics right now, possibly the vfork() case but ICBW?
In any case like Rick said factoring out the common patterns would be
good, keeping things aligned would support that.
Now getting back to collecting feedback and sending another version.
Yeah I found what you meant.

Seems like an issue for riscv as well. Will fix it.
This particular issue screaming out loud for converging flows as well.
