x86: use kernel_stack_pointer() in dumpstack.c
The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in
32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack
pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the
actual previous stack frame. For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer()
instead of coding this weirdness explicitly.
Furthermore, user_mode() is only valid when the process is known to
not run in V86 mode. Use the safer user_mode_vm() instead.
