I found the original patch and looked at the call sites.  None of them 
calls dump_stack.  The behavior is thus not the same.  With your change, 
something that was previously treated in an orderly manner will be 
converted to something that looks like an oops.  I assume that the cost of 
the dump_stack will also be huge.
