[PATCH v3 1/1] x86: Rename __{start,end}_init_task to __{start,end}_init_stack

From: Xin Li (Intel)
Date: Fri Mar 22 2024 - 04:17:10 EST


The stack of a task has been separated from the memory of a task_struct
struture for a long time on x86, as a result __{start,end}_init_task no
longer mark the start and end of the init_task structure, but its stack
only.

Rename __{start,end}_init_task to __{start,end}_init_stack.

Note other architectures are not affected because __{start,end}_init_task
are used on x86 only.

Change since v2:
* Rebase to the latest tip master branch.

Change since v1:
* Revert an accident insane change, init_task to init_stack (Jürgen Groß).
