With this patch, we should also modify the stack_top() implementation,
because the vvar size is not PAGE_SIZE at this time.

'maps' before the patch,
  # sudo cat /proc/1/maps
  ...
  7ffffbec8000-7ffffbeec000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 
   [stack]
  7ffffc7d8000-7ffffc7dc000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 
   [vvar]
  7ffffc7dc000-7ffffc7e0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 
   [vdso]

STACK_TOP = TASK_SIZE - PAGE_ALIGN(current->thread.vdso->size) - VVAR_SIZE

Thanks,
Youling.
