[PATCH] x86: stop recursive fault in print_context_stack after stack overflow

[Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>]

After printing out the first line of a stack backtrace,
print_context_stack() calls print_ftrace_graph_addr() to check if it's
making a graph of function calls, usually not the case.  But unfortunate
ordering of assignments causes this to oops if an earlier stack overflow
corrupted threadinfo->task.  Reorder to avoid that irritation.

(The fact that there was a stack overflow may often be more interesting
than the stack that can now be shown; but integrating that information
with this stacktrace is awkward, so leave it to overflow reporting.)
