[S390] Initialize __LC_THREAD_INFO early.
"lockdep: Fix backtraces" reveales a bug in early setup code: when lockdep tries to save a stack backtrace before setup_arch has been called the lowcore pointer for the current thread info pointer isn't initialized yet. However our save stack backtrace code relies on it. If the pointer isn't initialized the saved backtrace will have zero entries. lockdep however relies (correctly) on the fact that that cannot happen. A write access to some random memory region is the result. Fix this by initializing the thread info pointer early.
