rename thread_info to stack
This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.
Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.
It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g. ia64
could benefit.
