sched: move CPU field back into thread_info if THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y


THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK moved the CPU field out of thread_info, but this
causes some issues on architectures that define raw_smp_processor_id()
in terms of this field, due to the fact that #include'ing linux/sched.h
to get at struct task_struct is problematic in terms of circular
dependencies.

Given that thread_info and task_struct are the same data structure
anyway when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, let's move it back so that having
access to the type definition of struct thread_info is sufficient to
reference the CPU number of the current task.

Note that this requires THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK's definition of the
task_thread_info() helper to be updated, as task_cpu() takes a
pointer-to-const, whereas task_thread_info() (which is used to generate
lvalues as well), needs a non-const pointer. So make it a macro instead.
