powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK

Browse Source 
This patch activates CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.

Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
  - It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
    overflows.
  - Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked,
    making a number of attacks more difficult.

This has the following consequences:
  - thread_info is now located at the beginning of task_struct.
  - The 'cpu' field is now in task_struct, and only exists when
    CONFIG_SMP is active.
  - thread_info doesn't have anymore the 'task' field.

This patch:
  - Removes all recopy of thread_info struct when the stack changes.
  - Changes the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro to point to current.
  - Selects CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.
  - Modifies raw_smp_processor_id() to get ->cpu from current without
    including linux/sched.h to avoid circular inclusion and without
    including asm/asm-offsets.h to avoid symbol names duplication
    between ASM constants and C constants.
  - Modifies klp_init_thread_info() to take a task_struct pointer
    argument.
