ARM: implement support for vmap'ed stacks
Wire up the generic support for managing task stack allocations via vmalloc, and implement the entry code that detects whether we faulted because of a stack overrun (or future stack overrun caused by pushing the pt_regs array) While this adds a fair amount of tricky entry asm code, it should be noted that it only adds a TST + branch to the svc_entry path. The code implementing the non-trivial handling of the overflow stack is emitted out-of-line into the .text section. Since on ARM, we rely on do_translation_fault() to keep PMD level page table entries that cover the vmalloc region up to date, we need to ensure that we don't hit such a stale PMD entry when accessing the stack. So we do a dummy read from the new stack while still running from the old one on the context switch path, and bump the vmalloc_seq counter when PMD level entries in the vmalloc range are modified, so that the MM switch fetches the latest version of the entries. Note that we need to increase the per-mode stack by 1 word, to gain some space to stash a GPR until we know it is safe to touch the stack. However, due to the cacheline alignment of the struct, this does not actually increase the memory footprint of the struct stack array at all.
