Add printout of last accessed sysfs file, added to x86 in
ae87221d3ce49d9de1e43756da834fd0bf05a2ad (sysfs: crash debugging)

Also add the notify_die hook that allows us to print out the ftrace
buffer on oops. This is useful in conjunction with ftrace function_graph:


Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
SMP NR_CPUS=128 NUMA pSeries
last sysfs file: /sys/class/net/tunl0/type
Dumping ftrace buffer:

Showing the function graph of a sysrq-c crash.
