DESCRIPTION
The thread_exit function implements the machine independent prelude to a thread shutdown. It will not return, and will result in a call to mi_switch(9) to schedule some other thread. thread_exit arranges to free all the resources of the thread, specifically the kernel stack.
To protect the runqueue(9), thread_exit must be called with the sched_lock mutex held.
