Subject: [PATCH 4.14 054/159] x86/traps: Use a new on_thread_stack() helper to clean up an assertion

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit 3383642c2f9d4f5b4fa37436db4a109a1a10018c upstream.

Let's keep the stack-related logic together rather than open-coding
a comparison in an assertion in the traps code.
