[PATCH v2 0/3] Move ARCH specific fpu_counter out of task_struct

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi,

When debugging a ARC SMP 3.11 build failure due to a ST insn dealing with
task_struct.thread going out of range, I spotted @fpu_counter in task_struct
which only SH/x86 happen to use, and can be easily moved out into corresponding
ARCH specific thread_struct. This saves 4 bytes per task_struct instantiated,
for all the other 18 arches.

While the change is relatively strightforward, I've failed to connect with
SH arch folks / Paul Mundt, latter's SH email keeps bouncing back.
Hence I'm taking the liberty to use his alternate email (as listed on his
github page) and I appologize in advance if this causes any inconvenience.

Changes in v2:
- Rabased to 3.12-rc4
- Added ACK from Ingo on patch 2/3

Version 1 can be found here:

Thx,
-Vineet
