[PATCH] ARM: Fix PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR regression when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y

The code that implements the rarely used PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR feature
dereferences the 'task' field of struct thread_info directly, and this
is no longer possible when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, as the 'task' field is
omitted from the struct definition in that case. Instead, we should just
cast the thread_info pointer to a task_struct pointer, given that the
former is now the first member of the latter.

So use a helper that abstracts this, and provide implementations for
both cases.

Fixes: 18ed1c01a7dd ("ARM: smp: Enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")
