[PATCH] powerpc/64: Fix stack trace not displaying final frame

In commit bf13718bc57a ("powerpc: show registers when unwinding
interrupt frames") we changed our stack dumping logic to show the full
registers whenever we find an interrupt frame on the stack.

However we didn't notice that on 64-bit this doesn't show the final
frame, ie. the interrupt that brought us in from userspace, whereas on
32-bit it does.

That is due to confusion about the size of that last frame. The code
in show_stack() calls validate_sp(), passing it STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE
to check the sp is at least that far below the top of the stack.

However on 64-bit that size is too large for the final frame, because
it includes the red zone, but we don't allocate a red zone for the
first frame.

So add a new define that encodes the correct size for 32-bit and
64-bit, and use it in show_stack().

This results in the full trace being shown on 64-bit, eg:

  sysrq: Trigger a crash
