proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"

Browse Source 
Commit d899bf7b (procfs: provide stack information for threads) introduced
to show stack information in /proc/{pid}/status.  But it cause large
performance regression.  Unfortunately /proc/{pid}/status is used ps
command too and ps is one of most important component.  Because both to
take mmap_sem and page table walk are heavily operation.

If many process run, the ps performance is,

Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps
provide almost same information. we can use it.

Commit d899bf7b introduced two features:

 1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to
    /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps.
 2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status.

I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.
