[v5] fork: free vmapped stacks in cache when cpus are offline

Using virtually mapped stack, kernel stacks are allocated via vmalloc.
In the current implementation, two stacks per cpu can be cached when
tasks are freed and the cached stacks are used again in task duplications.
but the cached stacks may remain unfreed even when cpus are offline.
 By adding a cpu hotplug callback to free the cached stacks when a cpu
goes offline, the pages of the cached stacks are not wasted.

v5:
 - wrap cpuhp_setup_state() in a new function, vm_stack_cache_init() which
   actually do nothing when !CONFIG_VMAP_STACK
 - add __may_unused to free_vm_stack_cache()
v4:
 - use CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN state for cpuhp setup
 - fix minor coding style
v3:
 - fix misuse of per-cpu api
 - fix location of function definition within CONFIG_VMAP_STACK
v2:
 - remove cpuhp callback for `startup`, only `teardown` callback is installed.

Right. This needs to move to a different place as that part is nested inside

#ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_STACK_ALLOCATOR

That's an horrible ifdef maze in that file.

Thanks,

I think we should rollback to v4. Do you agree?

Sigh. Yes.
