[PATCH] i386: break out of recursion in stackframe walk
If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS is enabled, and one does a dump_stack() during
early SMP init, an infinite stackdump and a bootup hang happens:

[<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4
[...]
Due to "end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function" recursing back to itself in the
EBP stackframe-walker. So avoid this type of recursion when walking the
stack .
