exec: In setup_new_exec cache current in the local variable me
At least gcc 8.3 when generating code for x86_64 has a hard time consolidating multiple calls to current aka get_current(), and winds up unnecessarily rereading %gs:current_task several times in setup_new_exec. Caching the value of current in the local variable of me generates slightly better and shorter assembly.
