s390: use init_thread_union aka initial stack for the first process


s390 is the only architecture which switches from the initial stack to a
later on allocated different stack for the first process.
This is (at least) problematic for the stackleak feature, which instruments
functions to save the current stackpointer within the task structure of the
running process.

The stackleak code compares stack pointers of the current process - and
doesn't expect that the kernel stack of a task can change. Even though the
stackleak feature itself will not cause any harm, the assumption about
kernel stacks being consistent is there, and only s390 doesn't follow that.

Therefore switch back to use init_thread_union, just like all other
architectures.
