[RFC PATCH 5/5] x86: change range of stack overflow checking

[Mitsuo Hayasaka]

The original stack overflow checking checks if a stack pointer is
less than or equal to (curbase + THREAD_SIZE) as the 2nd condition.
However, it is not necessary since the 3rd one checks if the pointer
is lower than available stack size. This patch removes the 2nd one.
