[PATCH 1/2] Add thread_info_cache_init() to all archs

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@ozlabs.org>]

Some architecture need to maintain a kmem cache for thread info
structures. (next patch adds that to powerpc to fix an alignment
problem).

There is no good arch callback to use to initialize that cache
that I can find, so this adds a new one and adds an empty macro
for when it's not implemented.

So we have the choice here between:

 - the ifdef on the func name that I did, consistent with what
I did before for iomap, which iirc Linus liked

 - add some more ARCH_HAS_* or HAVE_* (yuck)

 - add an empty definition to all archs .h (pain in the neck but I
can do it, though it will be an annoying patch to keep around)

 - do a weak function (will slightly bloat everybody for no good reason)

So unless there is strong complaints, I'd like to stick to my
current approach.
