    x86: use kernel_stack_pointer() in kprobes.c · 98272ed0

    The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in
    32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack
    pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the
    actual previous stack frame.  For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer()
    instead of coding this weirdness explicitly.
