[S390] No more 4kb stacks.

Browse source 
We got a stack overflow with a small stack configuration on a 32 bit
system. It just looks like as 4kb isn't enough and too dangerous.
So lets get rid of 4kb stacks on 32 bit.

But one thing I completely dislike about the call trace below is that
just for debugging or tracing purposes sprintf gets called (cio_start_key):

	/* process condition code */
	sprintf(dbf_txt, "ccode:%d", ccode);
	CIO_TRACE_EVENT(4, dbf_txt);

But maybe its just me who thinks that this could be done better.

If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
page allocations.
