In particular this fixes a crash when reaping a thread and trying to write to the `child_tid` address, since the current thread is no longer live and can't be used with the `process_vm_writev` syscall. This problem was mostly latent, since when the memory mapper is enabled, we usually do the write through shared memory instead.
