[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit] core: fix cur_L restoration on error throw

This change is a kind of revertion of commits
ed412cd9f55fe87fd32a69c86e1732690fc5c1b0 ('Update cur_L on exceptional
path') and 97699d9ee2467389b6aea21a098e38aff3469b5f ('Fix cur_L tracking
on exceptional path').

When an error is thrown on the coroutine that is not the one being
currently executed, `cur_L` is not set up. Hence, when the running trace
exits at assertion guard right after the error is caught, Lua state is
restored from the incorrect `cur_L`. As a result the resulting stack is
inconsistent and the crash occurs.

Aforementioned patches fix the behaviour only for x86/x64
architectures. This patch updates the `cur_L` within `lj_err_throw()` to
the given lua_State, where the error is raised, since this is the only
coroutine that can proceed later. Also, it removes unnecessary
restorations of `cur_L` at C and FF exception handlers in the VM.

Nevertheless, throwing an error at non-currently executed coroutine is a
violation of Lua/C API. So, in the nearest possible future this patch
should be replaced within the corresponding assert.

CI is red on FreeBSD, so the patch is probably not ready to merge.
I've tried to reproduce it on sh8, but I've failed. sh4 is still not
working and is used for running our CI jobs. Stay tuned!
