[PATCH v16 05/21] powerpc: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK

[text copied from commit 9bbd4c56b0b6
("arm64: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")]

When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, task stacks may be freed
before a task is destroyed. To account for this, the stacks are
refcounted, and when manipulating the stack of another task, it is
necessary to get/put the stack to ensure it isn't freed and/or re-used
while we do so.

This patch reworks the powerpc stack walking code to account for this.
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected these perform no
refcounting, and this should only be a structural change that does not
affect behaviour.
