Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86/dumpstack: simplify in_exception_stack()

in_exception_stack() does some bad, bad things just so the unwinder can
print different values for different areas of the debug exception stack.

There's no need to clarify where exactly on the stack it is.  Just print
"#DB" and be done with it.
