sched/debug: Try trigger_single_cpu_backtrace(cpu) in dump_cpu_task()
The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function attempts to send an NMI to the
target CPU, which usually provides much better stack traces than the
dump_cpu_task() function's approach of dumping that stack from some other
CPU.  So much so that most calls to dump_cpu_task() only happen after
a call to trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() has failed.  And the exception to
this rule really should attempt to use trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() first.

Therefore, move the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() invocation into
dump_cpu_task().
