Cross-architecture update to move task_struct::cpu back into thread_info
on arm64, x86, s390, powerpc, and riscv. All Acked by arch maintainers.
Quoting Ard Biesheuvel:
"Move task_struct::cpu back into thread_info
Keeping CPU in task_struct is problematic for architectures that define
raw_smp_processor_id() in terms of this field, as it requires
linux/sched.h to be included, which causes a lot of pain in terms of
circular dependencies (aka 'header soup')
This series moves it back into thread_info (where it came from) for all
architectures that enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, addressing the header
soup issue as well as some pointless differences in the implementations
of task_cpu() and set_task_cpu()."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
