RISC-V: Use __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer only for spinwait method
The __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer array is only used for spinwait method
now. The per cpu array based lookup is also fragile for platforms with
discontiguous/sparse hartids. The spinwait method is only used for
M-mode Linux or older firmwares without SBI HSM extension. For general
Linux systems, ordered booting method is preferred anyways to support
cpu hotplug and kexec.

Make sure that __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer is only used for spinwait
method. Take this opportunity to rename it to
__cpu_spinwait_stack/task_pointer to emphasize the purpose as well.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
