consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options

Original posting:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com

Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.

This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option.  This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.

Make extra checks for space available on stack in some
critical functions. This will cause kernel to run a bit slower,
but will catch most of kernel stack overruns and exit gracefully.
Say Y if you are unsure.
