fork: protect architectures where THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE against fork bombs

Because those architectures will draw their stacks directly from the page
allocator, rather than the slab cache, we can directly pass __GFP_KMEMCG
flag, and issue the corresponding free_pages.

This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define
CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has
THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE.  Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining
architectures fall in this category.

This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the
process currently lives on, and will have the allocations to fail if they
go over limit.

For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to
mess with the other path.  Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can
get rid of that flag.

Tested to successfully protect against :(){ :|:& };:
