Changing kernel stack size on arm is not as simple as it should be:
1) THRED_SIZE macro doen't respect PAGE_SIZE and THREAD_SIZE_ORDER
2) stack size is hardcoded in get_thread_info macro

This patch fixes it by caculating THREAD_SIZE and thread_info address
taking into account PAGE_SIZE and THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.

Now changing stack size becomes simply changing THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.

THREAD_SIZE

Curious: is this just a cleanup, or are you actually running out of kernel
stack on an ARM platform?

Yup, I just found some more typos in my commit message.
I'll fix them in update.

It's actually both.
I'm working on address sanitizer for kernel [1]. Recently we started experiments with
stack instrumentation. Compiler inserts redzones around every variable on stack, so
we could detect accesses to such redzones and catch out-of-bound read/write bugs on stack variables.
Obviously stack is bloated in such kernel.
For mainline kernel it just a cleanup.
