[PATCH] x86_64: fix page fault from show_trace()

[Jan Beulich]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 303 bytes --]

The introduction of call_softirq switching to the interrupt stack
several releases earlier resulted in a problem with the code in
show_trace, which assumes that it can pick the previous stack pointer
from the end of the interrupt stack.
