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.

commit 425595a7fc20 ("livepatch: reuse module loader code
to write relocations") offloads livepatch module relocation
write to arch specific module loader code.
Remove unused klp_write_module_reloc() function stub.

In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate
stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and
store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info.
Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise
that value, so it must be done at run time.
This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until
the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

Add the powerpc specific livepatch definitions. In particular we provide
a non-default implementation of klp_get_ftrace_location().
This is required because the location of the mcount call is not constant
when using -mprofile-kernel (which we always do for live patching).
