Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] sched: move CPU field back into thread_info if THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y

THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK moved the CPU field out of thread_info, but this
causes some issues on architectures that define raw_smp_processor_id()
in terms of this field, due to the fact that #include'ing linux/sched.h
to get at struct task_struct is problematic in terms of circular
dependencies.

Given that thread_info and task_struct are the same data structure
anyway when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, let's move it back so that having
access to the type definition of struct thread_info is sufficient to
reference the CPU number of the current task.

Note that this requires THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK's definition of the
task_thread_info() helper to be updated, as task_cpu() takes a
pointer-to-const, whereas task_thread_info() (which is used to generate
lvalues as well), needs a non-const pointer. So make it a macro instead.

Because arm64 has a clear idiom here, where TSK_TI_ is used for
thread_info fields accessed via a task_struct pointer. Also, it only
occurs once in the code.

Power does not seem to have this idiom, and TASK_CPU is used in many
more places, so I don't think it makes sense to change its name.

Why do you need to change the name ?

For powerpc64, you leave TASK_CPU.

In the old days it was called TI_CPU, was changed by commit f7354ccac844
("powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and rename TI_CPU") after
commit ed1cd6deb013 ("powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")

I don't have a strong opinion about it but we have:

$ git grep thread_info arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:#include <asm/thread_info.h>
arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c: OFFSET(TI_livepatch_sp,
thread_info, livepatch_sp);
arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c: OFFSET(TI_LOCAL_FLAGS,
thread_info, local_flags);
arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:
offsetof(struct task_struct, thread_info));

Forget that. I didn't realise that your change keeps it based on
