Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] kernel/fork.c: add a function to calculate page address from thread_info

A current implementation assumes thread_info address is always correctly
calculated via virt_to_page. It restricts a different approach, such as
thread_info allocation from vmalloc space.

This patch, thus, introduces an independent function to calculate page
address from thread_info one.
