Subject: alpha: fix build failures

From: Sudip Mukherjee <[email protected]>

commit 8ee912dab95f1483156b6e994004bfcc3158d798 upstream.

The build of alpha allmodconfig is giving error:

arch/alpha/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'ev5_switch_mm':
arch/alpha/include/asm/mmu_context.h:160:2: error:

	implicit declaration of function 'task_thread_info';
	did you mean 'init_thread_info'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

The file 'mmu_context.h' needed an extra header file.
