The CPU field will be moved back into thread_info even when
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is enabled, so add it back to arm64's definition of
struct thread_info.

Note that arm64 always has CONFIG_SMP=y so there is no point in guarding
the CPU field with an #ifdef.

Why adding that now ? For powerpc you do the switch in 5.



Why not?

Maybe to remain consistent between archs ?



DEFINE(TSK_TI_FLAGS, offsetof(struct task_struct, thread_info.flags));
DEFINE(TSK_TI_PREEMPT, offsetof(struct task_struct, thread_info.preempt_count));
