To be frankly, I don't know its scenarios on LoongArch. It looks like
the MIPS legacy. This patch only keep this padding, which can be
easily modified if needed in the future. Now we can completely
set it to 0 or remove it. Actually, it can be thought of as another
buffer for thread_info, while thread_info usually limit to one cache line.

How about put it into loongarch.h if we need this macro?
Thanks
