Vineet Gupta fd476197c6 ARC: __switch_to: move ksp to thread_info from thread_struct
task's arch specific bits are carried in 2 places
 - embedded thread_struct in task_struct
 - associated thread_info (hoisted in task's stack page) and
   syntactically: (thread_info *)(task_struct->stack)

ksp (dynamic kernel stack top) currently lives in thread_struct but
given its deep location in task struct likely to cache miss when
accessed from  __switch_to(). Moving it to thread_info would be more
efficient given proximity to frequently accessed items such as
preempt_count thus very likely to be in cache, specially in schedular
code.

Note however that currently tsk.thread.ksp takes 1 memory access (off
of tsk pointer) while new code tsk->stack.ksp would take 2, but likely
to be in cache. Moreover if task is current the 2nd reference can be
elided and instead derived from SP as (SP & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1))

All of this also makes __switch_to() code simpler and we can see the 2
ways of retirving ksp (descrobed above) in new code.
