Kernel: Various context switch fixes

Browse source 
These changes solve a number of problems with the software
context swithcing:

* The scheduler lock really should be held throughout context switches
* Transitioning from the initial (idle) thread to another needs to
  hold the scheduler lock
* Transitioning from a dying thread to another also needs to hold
  the scheduler lock
* Dying threads cannot necessarily be finalized if they haven't
  switched out of it yet, so flag them as active while a processor
  is running it (the Running state may be switched to Dying while
  it still is actually running)
