x86, 32-bit: fix kernel_trap_sp()

Use &regs->sp instead of regs for getting the top of stack in kernel mode.
(on x86-64, regs->sp always points the top of stack)

[ Impact: Oprofile decodes only stack for backtracing on i386 ]

[ v2: rename the API to kernel_stack_pointer(), move variable inside ]
