x86, percpu: Collect hot percpu variables into one cacheline

On x86_64, percpu variables current_task and kernel_stack are used for
get_current() and current_thread_info() respectively and thus are
often used close to each other.  Move definition of current_task to
kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it
to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline.  Two
percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count
- are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline.

For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to
kernel/cpu/common.c.

Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was
suggested by Linus Torvalds.
