[PATCH 4/8] kernel/fork: Don't assign the stack pointer in dup_task_struct().

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All four versions of alloc_thread_stack_node() assign now
task_struct::stack in case the allocation was successful.

Let alloc_thread_stack_node() return an error code instead of the stack
pointer and remove the stack assignment in dup_task_struct().
