Title: Prevent ContextClassLoader of Actor from becoming ClassLoader of Executo...

...r.

Constructor of `org.apache.spark.executor.Executor` should not set context class loader of current thread, which is backend Actor's thread.

Run the following code in local-mode REPL.

```
scala> case class Foo(i: Int)
scala> val ret = sc.parallelize((1 to 100).map(Foo), 10).collect
```

This causes errors as follows:

```
ERROR actor.OneForOneStrategy: [L$line5.$read$$iwC$$iwC$$iwC$$iwC$Foo;

```

This is because the class loaders to deserialize result `Foo` instances might be different from backend Actor's, and the Actor's class loader should be the same as Driver's.
