applied to tip/x86/debug, thanks! I also applied the clean up patch 
below on top of your fix.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: clean up stack overflow debug check

Impact: cleanup

Simplify the irq-sampled stack overflow debug check:

 - eliminate an #idef

 - use WARN_ONCE() to emit a single warning (all bets are off
   after the first such warning anyway)
