fork: Redo ifdefs around task stack handling

Browse source

The use of ifdef CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is confusing in terms what is
actually happenning and what can happen.

For instance from reading free_thread_stack() it appears that in the
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK case it may receive a non-NULL vm pointer but it may also
be NULL in which case __free_pages() is used to free the stack.  This is
however not the case because in the VMAP case a non-NULL pointer is always
returned here.  Since it looks like this might happen, the compiler creates
the correct dead code with the invocation to __free_pages() and everything
around it. Twice.

Add spaces between the ifdef and the identifer to recognize the ifdef
level which is currently in scope.

Add the current identifer as a comment behind #else and #endif.
Move the code within free_thread_stack() and alloc_thread_stack_node()
into the relevant ifdef blocks.
