Currently, kernel context and interrupts are handled using a single
kernel stack navigated by sp_el1. This forces a system to use 16KB
stack, not 8KB one. This restriction can make low memory platforms
suffer from memory pressure accompanied by performance degradation.

This patch addresses the issue as introducing a separate percpu IRQ
stack to handle both hard and soft interrupts with two ground rules:

  - Utilize sp_el0 in EL1 context, which is not used currently
  - Do not complicate current_thread_info calculation

It is a core concept to directly retrieve struct thread_info from
sp_el0. This approach helps to prevent text section size from being
increased largely as removing masking operation using THREAD_SIZE
in tons of places.

[Thanks to James Morse for his valuable feedbacks which greatly help
to figure out a better implementation. - Jungseok]

Note that this change has been tested with 4 different combos:
- THREAD_SIZE = 16KB, IRQ_STACK_SIZE = 16KB
- THREAD_SIZE = 16KB, IRQ_STACK_SIZE =  8KB
- THREAD_SIZE =  8KB, IRQ_STACK_SIZE = 16KB
- THREAD_SIZE =  8KB, IRQ_STACK_SIZE =  8KB

I've reviwed the approach using do_softirq_own_stack() which Catalin
mentioned, but it is questionable to reduce max stack depth highly.
That is why this hunk does not change its direction.
