[PATCH 1/2] ARM: Add per-cpu variable holding cpu number

To help move thread_info into task_struct, stop using the cpu number
contained in the thread_info block in C code and use a per-cpu
variable instead. This value will be initialized long before the
task_struct cpu value for the various idle threads are set, which
avoids ordering issues during CPU startup.
