We are going to rewrite the syscall handling in C, which means that the stack used by the call code is no longer predicatably 8 bytes (for syscall arguments r4 and r5) but a varying number of bytes depending on how nested the C code is. However the current code is just assuming it can rewind the stack by adding 8 to sp if a syscall is interrupted by a sigreturn call. Solve this by storing the entry sp in the per-task struct thread_info and use that in the sigreturn wrapper instead. We already have the thread info available in the SWI entry and sigreturn is probably not so common that retrieveing a pointer to thread_info should affect anything very much. Storing this per-task in thread_info makes the solution SMP robust.
