Subject: [PATCH 3/6] x86/dumpstack: make printk_stack_address() more generally useful

Change printk_stack_address() to be useful when called by an unwinder
outside the context of dump_trace().

Specifically:

- printk_stack_address()'s 'data' argument is always used as the log
  level string.  Make that explicit.

- Call touch_nmi_watchdog().
