[PATCHv2 00/50] Add log level to show_stack()

Changes to v2:
- Removed excessive pr_cont("\n") (nits by Senozhatsky)
- Leave backtrace debugging messages with pr_debug()
  (noted by Russell King and Will Deacon)
- Correct microblaze_unwind_inner() declaration
  (Thanks to Michal Simek and kbuild test robot)
- Fix copy'n'paste typo in show_stack_loglvl() for sparc
  (kbuild robot)
- Fix backtrace output on xtensa
  (Thanks Max Filippov)
- Add loglevel to show_stack() on s390 (kbuild robot)
- Collected all Reviewed-by and Acked-by (thanks!)

Add log level argument to show_stack().
Done in three stages:
1. Introducing show_stack_loglvl() for every architecture
2. Migrating old users with an explicit log level
3. Renaming show_stack_loglvl() into show_stack()

Justification:
o It's a design mistake to move a business-logic decision
  into platform realization detail.
o I have currently two patches sets that would benefit from this work:
  Removing console_loglevel jumps in sysrq driver [1]
  Hung task warning before panic [2] - suggested by Tetsuo (but he
  probably didn't realise what it would involve).
o While doing (1), (2) the backtraces were adjusted to headers
  and other messages for each situation - so there won't be a situation
  when the backtrace is printed, but the headers are missing because
  they have lesser log level (or the reverse).

The least important for upstream, but maybe still worth to note that
every company I've worked in so far had an off-list patch to print
backtrace with the needed log level (but only for the architecture they
cared about).
If you have other ideas how you will benefit from show_stack() with
a log level - please, reply to this cover letter.
