[PATCH] stack usage: Add pid to warning printk in check_stack_usage

From: Tim Bird
Date: Wed Apr 11 2012 - 13:19:40 EST


In embedded systems, sometimes the same program (busybox)
is the cause of multiple warnings. Outputting the pid
with the program name in the warning printk helps
distinguish which instances of a program are using
the stack most.

This is a small patch, but useful.
