    Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells:
     "It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather
      than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling
      instead and expand out various macros.
    
      Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling:
    
       (1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and
           openrisc.
    
       (2) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set
           init_thread_union and init_stack rather than defining these in C.
    
           Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in
           the linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with
           different section markers so that they end up correctly ordered.
    
           We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one.
    
           We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only
           to be macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then
           expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and
           a lot of backslashes.
    
       (3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place.
    
       (4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined
           conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif
           in the .c file as it takes fewer lines.
    
       (5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place.
    
       (6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place.
    
      These macros can then be discarded"
