[RFC][PATCH 02/24] kernel/fork: Use sizeof() union instead of TASK_SIZE

[Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>]

thread_union is sized with TASK_SIZE. Instead of needing the definition
and this code to match, just use the thread_union size. This way, if the
thread union size changes, this code will still be correct.

Foreshadowing: shadow stack support will change the size of thread_union.
