    arm64: Adjust the kernel stack pointer at the end of fork_trampoline
    
    All other paths that return from the kernel to userspace pop the user
    trapframe off of the kernel stack pointer before returning to
    userspace in restore_registers.  fork_trampoline was missing this, so
    all of the user faults after fork pushed another trapframe leaving a
    trapframe's worth of wasted space on the kstack.
    
    This would be fatal after a future change to remove duplicate
    initialization of td_frame in cpu_fork() as without this fix each time
    a thread was recycled it would "lose" another trapframe's worth of
    space.
