Naming consistency. E.g., the name consume_entry is used in a lot of places.
This code used to use fn() instead of consume_entry(). arch_stack_walk()
names the argument to consume_entry as cookie. This code calls it data
instead of cookie. That is all. It is minor in nature. But I thought I might
as well make it conform while I am at it.
