Subject: [RESEND PATCH 2/2] ARC: rename 16KSTACKS to DEBUG_STACKS

Rename 16KSTACKS to DEBUG_STACKS.

arch/arc/Kconfig.debug says that the default stack size is 8KB
and it will become 16KB stack if 16KSTACKS is set.

However, the stack size is based on PAGE_SIZE, and it is
configurable by CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_16K or CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_4K.
When CONFIG_16KSTACKS=y:

PAGE_SHIFT==12 => THREAD_SIZE == (1 << (12 + 1)) = 8KB
PAGE_SHIFT==13 => THREAD_SIZE == (1 << (13 + 1)) = 16KB
PAGE_SHIFT==14 => THREAD_SIZE == (1 << (14 + 1)) = 32KB

We get correct 16KB stack only when PAGE_SHIFT is 13.

See arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/page.h:
/* PAGE_SHIFT determines the page size */
\#if defined(CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_16K)
\#define PAGE_SHIFT 14
\#elif defined(CONFIG_ARC_PAGE_SIZE_4K)
\#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
\#else
\#define PAGE_SHIFT 13
\#endif

See arch/arc/include/asm/thread_info.h:
\#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKS
\#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 1
\#else
\#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 0
\#endif

\#define THREAD_SIZE     (PAGE_SIZE << THREAD_SIZE_ORDER)
\#define THREAD_SHIFT	(PAGE_SHIFT + THREAD_SIZE_ORDER)

To make CONFIG_16KSTACKS less confusing, rename it to DEBUG_STACKS
(as it is defined in Kconfig.debug) and modify the Kconfig
description. No functional changes intended.
