Subject: x86/entry/64: Remove thread_struct::sp0
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d375cf1530595e33961a8844192cddab913650e3 upstream.
On x86_64, we can easily calculate sp0 when needed instead of
storing it in thread_struct.
On x86_32, a similar cleanup would be possible, but it would require
cleaning up the vm86 code first, and that can wait for a later
cleanup series.
