[08/13] x86/dumpstack: When OOPSing, rewind the stack before do_exit

If we call do_exit with a clean stack, we greatly reduce the risk of
recursive oopses due to stack overflow in do_exit, and we allow
do_exit to work even if we OOPS from an IST stack.  The latter gives
us a much better chance of surviving long enough after we detect a
stack overflow to write out our logs.

I intentionally separated this from the preceding patch that
disables do_exit-on-OOPS on IST stacks.  This way, if we need to
revert this patch, we still end up in an acceptable state wrt stack
overflow handling.

I think this should be:

	leaq	-TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING-SIZEOF_PTREGS, %rsp

That way when it calls do_exit(), the stack frame will be placed at the
conventional spot where a smart unwinder would expect to find it.
