Subject: [PATCH 1/1] task_stack: make code generic for getting end of stack.

currently code provides end of stack by considering stack grows
downwards. Make it useful for architectures where stack grows upward.

Although CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected only for
architectures where stack grows downward.
