    nptl: Remove COLORING_INCREMENT
    
    This patch removes the COLORING_INCREMENT define and usage on allocatestack.c.
    It has not been used since 564cd8b67ec487f (glibc-2.3.3) by any architecture.
    The idea is to simplify the code by removing obsolete code.
    
            * nptl/allocatestack.c [COLORING_INCREMENT] (nptl_ncreated): Remove.
            (allocate_stack): Remove COLORING_INCREMENT usage.
            * nptl/stack-aliasing.h (COLORING_INCREMENT). Likewise.
            * sysdeps/i386/i686/stack-aliasing.h (COLORING_INCREMENT): Likewise.

Conflicts:
	nptl/allocatestack.c

Textual conflict due to missing backport of commit
a1ffb40e32741f992c743e7b16c061fefa3747ac (Use glibc_likely instead
__builtin_expect.).
