x86: fix kernel panic on 32 bits when profiling
Latest kernel has a kernel panic in booting on i386 machine when
profile=2 setting in cmdline. It is due to 'sp' being incorrect in
profile_pc().
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000246
IP: [<c01288b6>] profile_pc+0x2a/0x48
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
This differs from the original version by Alex Shi in that we use the
kernel_stack_pointer() inline already defined in <asm/ptrace.h> for
this purpose, instead of #ifdef.
