sched: Fix __schedule_bug() output when called from an interrupt
If schedule is called from an interrupt handler __schedule_bug()
will call show_regs() with the registers saved during the
interrupt handling done in do_IRQ(). This means we'll see the
registers and the backtrace for the process that was interrupted
and not the full backtrace explaining who called schedule().
This is due to 838225b ("sched: use show_regs() to improve
__schedule_bug() output", 2007-10-24) which improperly assumed
that get_irq_regs() would return the registers for the current
stack because it is being called from within an interrupt
handler. Simply remove the show_reg() code so that we dump a
backtrace for the interrupt handler that called schedule().
[ I ran across this when I was presented with a scheduling while
atomic log with a stacktrace pointing at spin_unlock_irqrestore().
It made no sense and I had to guess what interrupt handler could
be called and poke around for someone calling schedule() in an
interrupt handler. A simple test of putting an msleep() in
an interrupt handler works better with this patch because you
can actually see the msleep() call in the backtrace. ]
