Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/8] powerpc/irq: don't use current_stack_pointer() in
 do_IRQ()

Before commit 7306e83ccf5c ("powerpc: Don't use CURRENT_THREAD_INFO to
find the stack"), the current stack base address was obtained by
calling current_thread_info(). That inline function was simply masking
out the value of r1.

In that commit, it was changed to using current_stack_pointer(), which
is an heavier function as it is an outline assembly function which
cannot be inlined and which reads the content of the stack at 0(r1)

Create stack_pointer() function which returns the value of r1 and use
it instead.

Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>
Fixes: 7306e83ccf5c ("powerpc: Don't use CURRENT_THREAD_INFO to find the stack")
