powerpc: regain entire stack space
thread_info is not anymore in the stack, so the entire stack can now be used. There is also no risk anymore of corrupting task_cpu(p) with a stack overflow so the patch removes the test. When doing this, an explicit test for NULL stack pointer is needed in validate_sp() as it is not anymore implicitely covered by the sizeof(thread_info) gap. In the meantime, with the previous patch all pointers to the stacks are not anymore pointers to thread_info so this patch changes them to void* Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
