[PATCHv2 11/14] arm64: use an irq stack pointer

[Mark Rutland]

We allocate our IRQ stacks using a percpu array. This allows us to generate our
IRQ stack pointers with adr_this_cpu, but bloats the kernel Image with the boot
CPU's IRQ stack. Additionally, these are packed with other percpu variables,
and aren't guaranteed to have guard pages.

When we enable VMAP_STACK we'll want to vmap our IRQ stacks also, in order to
provide guard pages and to permit more stringent alignment requirements. Doing
so will require that we use a percpu pointer to each IRQ stack, rather than
allocating a percpu IRQ stack in the kernel image.

This patch updates our IRQ stack code to use a percpu pointer to the base of
each IRQ stack. This will allow us to change the way the stack is allocated
with minimal changes elsewhere. In some cases we may try to backtrace before
the IRQ stack pointers are initialised, so on_irq_stack() is updated to account
for this.

In testing with cyclictest, there was no measureable difference between using
adr_this_cpu (for irq_stack) and ldr_this_cpu (for irq_stack_ptr) in the IRQ
entry path.
