[PATCH v6 06/20] thread: move thread bits accessors to separated file

They may be accessed from low-level code, so isolating is a measure to
avoid circular dependencies in header files.

The exact reason for circular dependency is WARN_ON() macro added by Al
Viro in patch "set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING
(and never should be)" [edd63a27]
