sched: Fix end_of_stack() and location of stack canary for architectures using CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP

Aaron Tomlin recently posted patches [1] to enable checking the
stack canary on every task switch. Looking at the canary code, I
realized that every arch (except ia64, which adds some space for
register spill above the stack) shares a definition of
end_of_stack() that makes it the first long after the
threadinfo.

For stacks that grow down, this low address is correct because
the stack starts at the end of the thread area and grows toward
lower addresses. However, for stacks that grow up, toward higher
addresses, this is wrong. (The stack actually grows away from
the canary.) On these archs end_of_stack() should return the
address of the last long, at the highest possible address for the stack.
