Remove ASM_OFFSETS_C which is used as guard in thread_info.h to decide if
asm-offsets can be included or not.

There is no reason to include asm-offsets.h in thread_info.h anymore.
Remove the define and the not needed include. Explicitly include
asm-offsets.h in all header files which require it, and where it used
to be included implicitly via thread_info.h.

This reduces header dependencies.

The pattern for all in_&lt;type&gt;_stack() functions is the same; especially
also the size of all stacks is the same. Simplify the code by passing only
the stack address to the generic in_stack() helper, which then can assume a
THREAD_SIZE sized stack.

<title>exit: Add and use make_task_dead.</title>

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
  found several instances where the code is not using the existing
  abstractions properly.

  This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a
  signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of
  the existing abstractions that I found.

  A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
  as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
  hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
  calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).

  In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
  where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
  found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
  makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
  allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp

  And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the
  wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build."

On nds32, openrisc, s390, sh, and xtensa the function die never
returns.  Mark die __noreturn so that no one expects die to return.
Remove the do_exit calls after die as they will never be reached.
