In 32 bit the stack address provided by kernel_stack_pointer() may
point to an invalid range causing NULL pointer access or page faults
while in NMI (see trace below). This happens if called in softirq
context and if the stack is empty. The address at ®s->sp is then
out of range.
Fixing this by checking if regs and ®s->sp are in the same stack
context. Otherwise return the previous stack pointer stored in struct
thread_info. If that address is invalid too, return address of regs.
V2:
* add comments to kernel_stack_pointer()
* always return a valid stack address by falling back to the address
of regs
