Programs run under qemu-ppc64 on an x86_64 host currently segfault if they use pthread_create() due to the adjustment made to the NIP in commit bd6fefe71cec5a0c7d2be4ac96307f25db56abf9.
This patch changes cpu_loop() to set the NIP back to the pre-incremented value before calling do_syscall(), which causes the correct address to be used for the new thread and corrects the fault.
