sparc64: Do not define thread fpregs save area as zero-length array.
This breaks the stack end corruption detection facility. What that facility does it write a magic value to "end_of_stack()" and checking to see if it gets overwritten. "end_of_stack()" is "task_thread_info(p) + 1", which for sparc64 is the beginning of the FPU register save area. So once the user uses the FPU, the magic value is overwritten and the debug checks trigger. Fix this by making the size explicit. Due to the size we use for the fpsaved[], gsr[], and xfsr[] arrays we are limited to 7 levels of FPU state saves. So each FPU register set is 256 bytes, allocate 256 * 7 for the fpregs area.
