x86-64: remove locked instruction from switch_to()
Impact: micro-optimization
The patch below removes an unnecessary locked instruction from
switch_to(). TIF_FORK is only ever set in copy_thread() on initial
process creation, and gets cleared during the first scheduling of the
process. As such, it is safe to use an unlocked test for the flag
within switch_to().
