8278cc1626 parisc: Reduce code size by optimizing get_current() function calls
The get_current() code uses the mfctl() macro to get the pointer to the
current task struct from %cr30. The problem with the mfctl() macro is,
that it is marked volatile which is basically correct, because mfctl()
is used to get e.g. the current internal timer or interrupt flags as
well.

But specifically the task struct pointer (%cr30) doesn't change over
time when the kernel executes code for a task.

So, by dropping the volatile when retrieving %cr30 the compiler is now
able to get this value only once and optimize the generated code a lot.

A bloat-o-meter comparism shows that this patch saves ~5kB kernel code
on a 32-bit kernel and ~6kB kernel code on a 64-bit kernel.

2214c0e772 parisc: Move thread_info into task struct
This implements the CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option.

With this change:
- before thread_info was part of the stack and located at the beginning of the stack
- now the thread_info struct is moved and located inside the task_struct structure
- the stack is allocated and handled like the major other platforms
- drop the cpu field of thread_info and use instead the one in task_struct

6302666d2e parisc: use generic current.h
Given that the arch does not add its own implementations, simply use the
asm-generic/current.h (generic-y) header instead of duplicating code.
