Subject: [PATCH] x86: avoid double stack traces (from show_registers())
What was called show_registers() so far already showed a stack trace
for kernel faults, and kernel_stack_pointer() isn't even valid (ix86)
or meaningful (x86-64) to be used here for faults from user mode,
hence it was pointless for show_regs() to call show_trace() after
show_registers(). Simply rename show_registers() to show_regs() and
eliminate the old definition.
