[PATCH v2] powerpc/irq: Increase stack_overflow detection limit when KASAN is enabled

When KASAN is enabled, as shown by the Oops below, the 2k limit is not
enough to allow stack dump after a stack overflow detection when
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW is selected:

An investigation shows that on PPC32, calling dump_stack() requires
more than 1k when KASAN is not selected and a bit more than 2k bytes
when KASAN is selected.

On PPC64 the registers are twice the size of PPC32 registers, so the
need should be approximately twice the need on PPC32.

In the meantime we have THREAD_SIZE which is twice larger on PPC64
than PPC32, and twice larger when KASAN is selected.

So we can easily use the value of THREAD_SIZE to set the limit.

On PPC32, THREAD_SIZE is 8k without KASAN and 16k with KASAN.
On PPC64, THREAD_SIZE is 16k without KASAN.

To be on the safe side, leave 2k on PPC32 without KASAN, 4k with
KASAN, and 4k on PPC64 without KASAN. It means the limit should be
one fourth of THREAD_SIZE.
