Subject: [PATCH] arm:traps:Don't dump the memory in non-system reset scenarios

Do not dump the memory in non-system reset scenarios to prevent virtual
 address information leakage.

This patch follows x86 and arm64's lead and removes the "Exception stack:"
dump from kernel backtraces:
	commit a25ffd3a6302a6 ("arm64: traps: Don't print stack or raw
	 PC/LR values in backtraces")
	commit 0ee1dd9f5e7eae ("x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump")
