s390/simd: clear vector register pointer on fork/clone

Browse Source 
The copy_thread function fails to reset the p->thread.vxrs pointer.
This causes the child to use the same vector register save area,
causing both data corruptions and multiple frees of the memory for
the save area after the tasks sharing the save area terminate.
