Subject: [PATCH] arch/tile: fix two bugs in the backtracer code

The first is that we were using an incorrect hand-rolled variant
of __kernel_text_address() which didn't handle module PCs.  We now
just use the standard API.

The second was that we weren't accounting for the three-level
page table when we were trying to pre-verify the addresses on
the 64-bit TILE-Gx processor; we now do that correctly.
