x86: use kernel_stack_pointer() in kprobes.c
The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in 32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the actual previous stack frame. For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer() instead of coding this weirdness explicitly. Signed-off-by: H.

67 * "&regs->sp" looks wrong, but it's correct for x86_32. x86_32 CPUs
68 * don't save the ss and esp registers if the CPU is already in kernel

70 * the [nonexistent] saved stack pointer and ss register, but rather
71 * the top 8 bytes of the pre-int3 stack. So &regs->sp happens to
72 * point to the top of the pre-int3 stack.
