fix thread structure/dtv-pointer corruption on powerpc
per the powerpc psabi, offset 4 of the stack at call time belongs to the callee and is used for spilling lr (return address). in addition, offset 0 on the stack must contain a pointer to the previous stack frame, or a null pointer for the initial stack frame of a thread. __clone failed to setup any stack frame on the new thread's stack, thereby allowing the start function it called to clobber offset 4 of the new thread's struct __pthread, which contains the dtv pointer. add code to setup a proper stack frame and align the stack pointer to a multiple of 16 (also an abi requirement) if it was not already aligned.
