Subject: [PATCH 2/7] dump_stack: Add vmlinux build ID to stack traces

Add the running kernel's build ID to the stacktrace information header.
This makes it simpler for developers to locate the vmlinux with full
debug info for a particular kernel stacktrace. Combined with
scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh a developer can download the correct
vmlinux from a debuginfod server and find the exact line number and file
for the functions in a stacktrace.

This is especially useful for pstore or crash debugging where the kernel
crashes and the recovery kernel may be different or the debug symbols
don't exist on the device due to space concerns. The stacktrace can be
analyzed after the crash with the matching vmlinux to understand where
in the function something went wrong.

Example stacktrace from lkdtm:
