Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 09/33] x86: Increase exception stack sizes

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

[ Upstream commit 7fae4c24a2b84a66c7be399727aca11e7a888462 ]

It turns out that a single page of stack is trivial to overflow with
all the tracing gunk enabled. Raise the exception stacks to 2 pages,
which is still half the interrupt stacks, which are at 4 pages.
