[RFC PATCH 6/8] arm64: traps: use task_struct instead of thread_info

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Thu Sep 15 2016 - 09:50:55 EST


In arm64's die and __die routines we pass around a thread_info, and
subsequently use this to determine either the relevant task_struct, or
the end of the thread's stack. This will shortly become problematic when
we move the thread_info out of the thread's stack.

Instead, pass around the task_struct, and use the new end_of_stack
helper, which will work regardless of where thread_info is located.
