[PATCH] kdump: Fix gdb macros work work with newer and 64-bit kernels

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard at mvista.com>

Lots of little changes needed to be made to clean these up, remove the
four byte pointer assumption and traverse the pid queue properly.
Also consolidate the traceback code into a single function instead
of having three copies of it.

I sent this earlier, but I didn't get a response.  These are clearly
wrong.  I'd be happy to take over maintenance of these macros.  It
might be better to move them someplace else, too, since they are also
useful for kgdb.
