Ville Juven 4c1b66246d env_dup: Fix copying of env between address environments
If address environments are in use, it is not possible to simply
memcpy from from one process to another. The current implementation
of env_dup does precisely this and thus, it fails at once when it is
attempted between two user processes.

The solution is to use the kernel's heap as an intermediate buffer.
This is a simple, effective and common way to do a fork().

Obviously this is not needed for kernel processes.

* Name: nxtask_init
*
* Description:
* This function initializes a Task Control Block (TCB) in preparation for
* starting a new thread. It performs a subset of the functionality of
* task_create()
*
* Unlike task_create():
* 1. Allocate the TCB. The pre-allocated TCB is passed in argv.
* 2. Allocate the stack. The pre-allocated stack is passed in argv.
* 3. Activate the task. This must be done by calling nxtask_activate().
*
* Certain fields of the pre-allocated TCB may be set to change the
* nature of the created task. For example:
*
* - Task type may be set in the TCB flags to create kernel thread
*
* Input Parameters:
* tcb - Address of the new task's TCB
* name - Name of the new task (not used)
* priority - Priority of the new task
* stack - Start of the pre-allocated stack
* stack_size - Size (in bytes) of the stack allocated
* entry - Application start point of the new task
* argv - A pointer to an array of input parameters. The array
* should be terminated with a NULL argv[] value. If no
* parameters are required, argv may be NULL.
*
* Returned Value:
* OK on success; negative error value on failure appropriately. (See
* nxtask_setup_scheduler() for possible failure conditions). On failure,
* the caller is responsible for freeing the stack memory and for calling
* nxsched_release_tcb() to free the TCB (which could be in most any
* state).
