sched/core: Fix oops in sched_show_task()
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, it is possible that an exited thread remains in the task list after its stack pointer was already set to NULL. Therefore, thread_saved_pc() and stack_not_used() in sched_show_task() will trigger NULL pointer dereference if an attempt to dump such thread's traces (e.g. SysRq-t, khungtaskd) is made. Since show_stack() in sched_show_task() calls try_get_task_stack() and sched_show_task() is called from interrupt context, calling try_get_task_stack() from sched_show_task() will be safe as well.
