[patch] s390: makecontext trampoline.


Hi,
the makecontext function should not use the stack for a trampoline
for no good reason. If we ever want to implement non-executable-stack
this will bite us.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/makecontext.c (__makecontext):
	Cast sp to unsigned long to avoid compiler warning.
	(__makecontext): Use __makecontext_ret function instead of a
	trampoline on the stack.
	(__makecontext_ret): New function.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/makecontext.c: Likewise.
