Subject: [PATCH] sparc32: use the common implementation of alloc_thread_info_node()

With sun4c removed we can fall-back to the common implementation.

This is not a "real" bug but I would like it applied anyway.
Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de> consolidated all
alloc_thread_info_node() implmentations but sparc32 was
left out due to sun4c weirdness.

With sun4c gone we can align with the rest of the world.
(and I promised Thomas to follow-up on this when his patch-set was merged).

This patch is on top of:
