Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched: fix thread_union::task visibility

When CONFIG_ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK=y (i.e. ARCH=ia64), task_struct
and the thread stack are shared.

The ifdef condition of CONFIG_ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK is opposite.

Now that the init thread stack is constructed by the linker script,
this is not a practical problem, but let's fix the code just in case.

Fixes: 0500871f21b2 ("Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union")
