[ 14/34] frv: Use correct size for task_struct allocation

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cce4517f33384c3794c759e206cc8e1bb6df146b upstream.

alloc_task_struct_node() allocates THREAD_SIZE and maintains some
weird refcount in the allocated memory. This never blew up as
task_struct size on 32bit machines was always less than THREAD_SIZE

Allocate just sizeof(struct task_struct) and get rid of the magic
refcounting.
