[PATCH] x86: simplify task_pt_regs() macro definition

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Fri Mar 13 2015 - 10:09:46 EST


Before this change, task_pt_regs() was using KSTK_TOP(),
and it was the only use of that macro. In turn, KSTK_TOP used
THREAD_SIZE_LONGS, and it was the only use of that macro too.

Fold these macros into task_pt_regs(). Tweak comment
about "- 8" - we now use a symbolic constant, not literal 8.
