Peter Zijlstra 44b979fa30 x86/mm/64: Improve stack overflow warnings
Current code has an explicit check for hitting the task stack guard;
but overflowing any of the other stacks will get you a non-descript
general #DF warning.

Improve matters by using get_stack_info_noinstr() to detetrmine if and
which stack guard page got hit, enabling a better stack warning.

In specific, Michael Wang reported what turned out to be an NMI
exception stack overflow, which is now clearly reported as such:

  [] BUG: NMI stack guard page was hit at 0000000085fd977b (stack is 000000003a55b09e..00000000d8cce1a5)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
