Steven Rostedt 198d208df4 x86: Keep thread_info on thread stack in x86_32
x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.

x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.

Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.
