s390: add support for virtually mapped kernel stacks
With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection
is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space.
The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function
that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump.
The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap
stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per
function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter:
add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042)
In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a
few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive
compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could
not find a noticeable difference.
