        src/sys/kern: kern_synch.c

Log Message:
In mi_switch(), also call pserialize_switchpoint() if we're not switching
to another lwp, as proposed on
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2018/07/20/msg023709.html

Without it, on a SMP machine with few processes running (e.g while
running sysinst), pserialize could hang for a long time until all
CPUs got a LWP to run (or, eventually, forever).
Tested on Xen domUs with 4 CPUs, and on a 64-threads AMD machine.
