Subject: [PATCH] arm: LLVMLinux: Calculate current_thread_info from fp

From: Behan Webster <behanw@...verseincode.com>

Use the frame pointer to calculate the start of the stack for current_thread_info()
The existing code uses the stack pointer to do this calculation.
Using the frame pointer yeilds the same value in a portable way.
This change supports being able to compile the kernel with gcc and Clang.
