Paul Gortmaker 122214428a [ARM] 3911/2: Simplify alloc_thread_info on ARM 
Remove ARM local cache of 4 struct thread_info.
Can cause oops under certain circumstances.

Russell indicated the original optimization was
required on older kernels to avoid thread starvation
on memory fragmentation, but may no longer be
required.  I've updated the patch to 19rc4 and
ensured no <config.h> dain-bramage slipped in this
time (sorry about that).

Original description follows:

I was given some test results which pointed to an
Oops in alloc_thread_info (happened 2x), and after
looking at the code, I see that ARM has its own
local cache of 4 struct thread_info. There wasn't
any clear (to me) synchronization between the
alloc_thread_info and the free_thread_info.

I looked over the other arch, and they all simply
allocate them on an as needed basis, so I simplified
the ARM to do the same, based on the other arch
(e.g. PPC) and the folks doing the testing have
indicated that this fixed the oops.
