[PATCH v2 29/44] x86/dumpstack: add recursion checking for all stacks

[Josh Poimboeuf]

in_exception_stack() has some recursion checking which makes sure the
stack trace code never traverses a given exception stack more than once.
Otherwise corruption could cause a stack to point to itself (directly or
indirectly), resulting in an infinite loop.

Extend the recursion checking to all stacks.
