Placing thread_info in the kernel stack leaves it vulnerable to stack

This v4 is a follow-up to Keith's v3 [0], which did not address all
concerns I raised in response to v2. After collaborating with Keith
off-list, we decided that I should go ahead and post our joint v4.
Great! Thanks for working through this. :)
