[RFC,v2,2/4] arm: factor out current_stack_pointer

Commit Message

Zubin Mithra June 18, 2018, 3:30 p.m. UTC

Multiple header files that rely on current_stack_pointer do not have the
necessary include <asm/thread_info.h>, and are thus fragile to changes
in the header soup.

Subsequent patches will affect the header soup such that including
<asm/thread_info.h> will result in a circular header include. Factor
current_stack_pointer into its own header and have all the users include
this header explicitly.
