This fixes an inconsistency since fed7e7a78b4bea183d0cbb107953e275f17baa4f (ntdll: Simulate a syscall return when starting a thread); in that commit, on i386 and x86_64, the syscall_frame used for starting the thread was zeroed with a memset, while it wasn't on arm and arm64.
This had a noticable effect on float maths, where the uninitialized frame->restore_flags field could have the CONTEXT_FLOATING_POINT bit set. (call_init_thunk only ORs in CONTEXT_INTEGER into the restore_flags field, on all architectures). If that bit was set, it would restore uninitialized data into the fpscr register, possibly setting the FPU in a nondefault rounding mode.
