My s390 assembly is not particularly good so I have read the history
of the reference to do_exit copy_thread and have been able to
verify that do_exit is not used.

The general argument is that s390 has been changed to use the generic
kernel_thread and kernel_execve and the generic versions do not call
do_exit.  So it is strange to see a do_exit reference sitting there.

The history of the do_exit reference in s390's version of copy_thread
seems conclusive that the do_exit reference is something that lingers
and should have been removed several years ago.
...
Remove this dead reference to do_exit to make it clear that s390 is
not doing anything with do_exit in copy_thread.
