sparc: use .data.init_task section for init_thread_union
Use a dedicated aligned section for the init_thread_union variable and declare this section in vmlinux.lds. This align sparc with most other architectures. Eventually this allow the init_task bits to be unified across all architectures. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
