Subject[PATCH] fix bug in yield()
This patch makes yield() actually call schedule.

Without this patch, 2.4.20-pre3 will hang on boot for me, looping in
spawn_ksoftirqd waiting for ksoftirqd to start and calling yield().
ksoftirqd never gets to run, however, because yield never actually
calls schedule. (Note that sys_sched_yield as a syscall is OK because
the syscall exit path will check current->need_resched and call
schedule).

Paul.
