Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] init/main.c: Give init_task a canary
Tasks get their end of stack set to STACK_END_MAGIC with the
aim to catch stack overruns. Currently this feature does not
apply to init_task. This patch removes this restriction.
Note that a similar patch was posted by Prarit Bhargava [1]
some time ago but was never merged.
