A functional regression. There's a bug in _tcb_set() The tcb
argument can be NULL and we unconditionally dereference it.
Hence, kse_sched_multi() now causes segfaults. It did not do
that before :-)

Something else is still fishy though:

itanium% ./kse
Using 5 threads (default)
bar 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It should be something like:

itanium% ./thr
Using 5 threads (default)
bar 1
bar 2
bar 3
bar 0
bar 4

The bar # lines are randomized, so the order does not have to be
the same. But, I'm almost there...
