uml: don't try to handle signals on initial process stack
Code running on the initial UML stack can't receive or process signals since current must be valid when IRQs are handled, and there is no current for this stack. So, instead of using UML_LONGJMP and UML_SETJMP, which are careful to save and restore signal state, and, as a side-effect, handle any deferred signals, start_idle_thread must use the bare equivalents, which don't do anything with signals.
