The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.
There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

<linux/sched/task_stack.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/task_stack.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

David Binderman pointed out that we were doing a full memset()
of the gdb register buffer and then doing a memcpy() to it that
was almost as big. This commit optimizes that by only doing a
memset() of the registers that are intended to be zero.
While making this change I noticed that we were not copying the
link register (LR, number 55) due to a fencepost error in commit
f419e6f63c5a ("arch: tile: kernel: kgdb.c: Use memcpy() instead of
pointer copy one by one"), and I've corrected that as well.

It is used by kgdb, ftrace, kprobe and jump label, so we factor
this out into a helper routine.

Not only memcpy() is faster than pointer copy, but also let code more
clearer and simple, which can avoid compiling warning (the original
implementation copy registers by exceeding member array border).
The related warning (with allmodconfig under tile):
CC arch/tile/kernel/kgdb.o
arch/tile/kernel/kgdb.c: In function 'sleeping_thread_to_gdb_regs':

Enter kernel debugger at boot with:
--hvd UART_1=1 --hvx kgdbwait --hvx kgdboc=ttyS1,115200
or at runtime with:
echo ttyS1,115200 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
