x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

End result looks like below:

 -v5:
   * fix build breakage with oprofile

 -v4:
   * use 0 instead of regs->bp
   * separate out printk changes

 -v3:
   * apply comment from Frederic
   * add a couple of printk fixes
