Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86: don't show trace beyond show_stack(NULL, NULL)

show_stack(current or NULL, NULL) is used to print the backtrace of
the current task.  As trace beyond the function itself isn't of much
interest to anyone, don't show it by determining sp and bp in
show_stack()'s frame and passing them to show_stack_log_lvl().

This brings show_stack(NULL, NULL)'s behavior in line with
dump_stack().
