ARM: fix /proc/$PID/stack on SMP
Rabin Vincent reports:
| On SMP, this BUG() in save_stack_trace_tsk() can be easily triggered
| from user space by reading /proc/$PID/stack, where $PID is any pid but
| the current process:
|
| if (tsk != current) {
| #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
| /*
| * What guarantees do we have here that 'tsk'
| * is not running on another CPU?
| */
| BUG();
| #else
Fix this by replacing the BUG() with an entry to terminate the stack
trace, returning an empty trace - I'd rather not expose the dwarf
unwinder to a volatile stack of a running thread.
