arm: optimized current_pt_regs()
... no need to read current_thread_info()->task only to feed it to task_thread_page() immediately afterwards. Moreover, not using current_thread_info() at all ends up with better assembler - we need a location very close to the top of kernel stack page and it's actually better to do or with 0x1fff, followed be subtracting a small constant than and with ~0x1fff, followed by adding a large one. Both & and | would be a couple of insns (mvn lsr/mvn lsl for |, a pair of bic for &), but the following addition would cost a pair of add while the subtraction ends up as a single sub.
