x86/irq/64: Limit IST stack overflow check to #DB stack
[ Upstream commit 7dbcf2b0b770eeb803a416ee8dcbef78e6389d40 ] Commit 37fe6a42b343 ("x86: Check stack overflow in detail") added a broad check for the full exception stack area, i.e. it considers the full exception stack area as valid. That's wrong in two aspects: 1) It does not check the individual areas one by one 2) #DF, NMI and #MCE are not enabling interrupts which means that a regular device interrupt cannot happen in their context. In fact if a device interrupt hits one of those IST stacks that's a bug because some code path enabled interrupts while handling the exception. Limit the check to the #DB stack and consider all other IST stacks as 'overflow' or invalid.
