[PATCH] Fix IO bitmap invalidate
There is a bug where if any process that obtained an IO access permissions via ioperm() does not explicitly "drop" that permissions, the IO permissions don't get properly invalidated on process exit. The cause is that exit_thread() only invalidates the per-thread io_bitmap pointer, but doesn't invalidate the per-TSS io_bitmap pointer as well. As the per-thread pointer is invalidated, __switch_to() doesn't take care of that one either, so the per-TSS pointer stays valid as long as some other process does ioperm(). This fixes the problem - it invalidates the per-TSS io_bitmap pointer and the problem goes away.
