    Ensure "init" (PID 1) also executes userret() initially
    
    Calling userret() from fork_return() misses the first return to
    userspace of the "init" (PID 1) process.  The latter is indeed created
    by fork1() followed by a call to cpu_fork_kthread_handler() call that
    replaces fork_return() by start_init() as the function to execute after
    fork.
    
    A new process' initial return to userspace in the end always happens
    through returning from fork_exit(), so move userret() there instead to
    fix the omission.
    
    This problem was discovered as part of a revamp of scheduling priorities
    that lead to experimenting with asserting and sometimes resetting
    priorities in sched_userret(), in the course of which the author
    stumbled on panics being triggered only in init() or only in other
    processes, depending on the modifications to sched_userret().  This
    change currently has no practical effect but will have some in the near
    future.
