x86: don't show trace beyond show_stack(NULL, NULL)

There are multiple ways a task can be dumped - explicit call to
dump_stack(), triggering WARN() or BUG(), through sysrq-t and so on.
Most of what gets printed is upto each architecture and the current
state is not particularly pretty.  Different pieces of information are
presented differently depending on which path the dump takes and which
architecture it's running on.  This is messy for no good reason and
makes it exceedingly difficult to add or modify debug information to
task dumps.

In all archs except for s390, there's nothing arch-specific about the
printed debug information.  This patchset updates all those archs to use
the same helpers to consistently print out the same debug information.

An example WARN dump after this patchset.

This patchset contains the following seven patches.

 0001-x86-don-t-show-trace-beyond-show_stack-NULL-NULL.patch
 0002-sparc32-make-show_stack-acquire-fp-if-_ksp-is-not-sp.patch
 0003-dump_stack-consolidate-dump_stack-implementations-an.patch
 0004-dmi-morph-dmi_dump_ids-into-dmi_format_ids-which-for.patch
 0005-dump_stack-implement-arch-specific-hardware-descript.patch
 0006-dump_stack-unify-debug-information-printed-by-show_r.patch
 0007-arc-print-fatal-signals-reduce-duplicated-informatio.patch

0001-0002 update stack dumping functions in x86 and sparc32 in
preparation.

0003 makes all arches except blackfin use generic dump_stack().
blackfin still uses the generic helper to print the same info.

0004-0005 properly abstract DMI identifier printing in WARN() and
show_regs() so that all dumps print out the information.  This enables
show_regs() to use the same debug info message.

0006 updates show_regs() of all arches to use a common generic helper
to print debug info.

0007 removes somem duplicate information from arc dumps.

While this patchset changes how debug info is printed on some archs,
the printed information is always superset of what used to be there.

This patchset makes task dump debug messages consistent and enables
adding more information.  Workqueue is scheduled to add worker
information including the workqueue in use and work item specific
description.

While this patch touches a lot of archs, it isn't too likely to cause
non-trivial conflicts with arch-specfic changes and would probably be
best to route together either through -mm.

x86 is tested but other archs are either only compile tested or not
tested at all.  Changes to most archs are generally trivial.

This patch:

show_stack(current or NULL, NULL) is used to print the backtrace of the
current task.  As trace beyond the function itself isn't of much
interest to anyone, don't show it by determining sp and bp in
show_stack()'s frame and passing them to show_stack_log_lvl().

This brings show_stack(NULL, NULL)'s behavior in line with
dump_stack().
