It still exists, but...

homer:..kernel/linux-4.15 # objdump -t vmlinux|grep thread_union                               
ffffffff81e00000 g     O .data  0000000000004000 init_thread_union
                                            ^^^^
homer:..kernel/linux-master # objdump -t vmlinux|grep thread_union
ffffffff81e00000 g       .data  0000000000000000 init_thread_union
                                            ^^^^

...it's size went missing at the referenced commit.
