task_stack: Fix end_of_stack() for architectures with upwards-growing stack
[ Upstream commit 9cc2fa4f4a92ccc6760d764e7341be46ee8aaaa1 ] The function end_of_stack() returns a pointer to the last entry of a stack. For architectures like parisc where the stack grows upwards return the pointer to the highest address in the stack. Without this change I faced a crash on parisc, because the stackleak functionality wrote STACKLEAK_POISON to the lowest address and thus overwrote the first 4 bytes of the task_struct which included the TIF_FLAGS.
