x86: offer frame pointers in all build modes
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS=y results in much better debug info for the kernel (clear and precise backtraces), with the only drawback being a ~1% increase in kernel size. So offer it unconditionally and enable it by default. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
