x86: don't destroy %rbp on kernel-mode faults
From the code:
"B stepping K8s sometimes report an truncated RIP for IRET exceptions
returning to compat mode. Check for these here too."
The code then proceeds to truncate the upper 32 bits of %rbp. This means
that when do_page_fault() is finally called, its prologue,
do_page_fault:
push %rbp
movl %rsp, %rbp
will put the truncated base pointer on the stack. This means that the
stack tracer will not be able to follow the base-pointer changes and
will see all subsequent stack frames as unreliable.
This patch changes the code to use a different register (%rcx) for the
checking and leaves %rbp untouched.
