While we are at it, I propose a more readable version of this check:

BUG_ON(this_cpu_sp0() - current_stack_pointer() >= THREAD_SIZE);

Yes, I am aware that it is not equivalent to the existing condition
- it uses the fact that this_cpu_sp0(), previous check
wasn't making that assumption. But that assumption is true,
so shouldn't be a problem.
