We need to pass the kernel stack pointer instead of the user space
stack pointer in save_stack_trace_tsk().

Oh, I didn't even realize that benh had merged that patch of mine.
As I wrote in the description, it was entirely untested. You found

pointer instead of the kernel stack pointer.
Again, this patch is entirely untested, and I would not be at all
surprised to find other trivial bugs.
