remove init_task definition.
init_task in kernel area shouldn't be referenced.
The corresponding address in the identity mapping area should be used.
i.e. ia64_tpa(init_task) + PAGE_OFFSET, because ia64_switch_rr7() and
vmx_switch_rr7() assume that stack is in indentity mapping area.
To make it sure, remove init_task definition.
