vmalloc() is a bit slow, and pounding vmalloc()/vfree() will eventually force a global TLB flush. To reduce pressure on them, if CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y, cache two thread stacks per CPU. This will let us quickly allocate a hopefully cache-hot, TLB-hot stack under heavy forking workloads (shell script style). On my silly pthread_create() benchmark, it saves about 2 µs per pthread_create()+join() with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y.
