stackleak: clarify variable names
The logic within __stackleak_erase() can be a little hard to follow, as `boundary` switches from being the low bound to the high bound mid way through the function, and `kstack_ptr` is used to represent the start of the region to erase while `boundary` represents the end of the region to erase. Make this a little clearer by consistently using clearer variable names. The `boundary` variable is removed, the bounds of the region to erase are described by `erase_low` and `erase_high`, and bounds of the task stack are described by `task_stack_low` and `task_stack_high`. As the same time, remove the comment above the variables, since it is unclear whether it's intended as rationale, a complaint, or a TODO, and is more confusing than helpful. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
