Subject: [for-next][PATCH 14/20] tracing: Use stack of calling function for stack tracer

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Use the stack of stack_trace_call() instead of check_stack() as
the test pointer for max stack size. It makes it a bit cleaner
and a little more accurate.

Adding stable, as a later fix depends on this patch.
