I'm fine with the patch, but this is one of those cases that I think
the 80 column max limit produces uglier code than just going a little
over.

Or, we can add a helper variable in both locations:

	addr = stack_dump_trace[i] + FTRACE_STACK_FRAME_OFFSET;
	if (*p == addr) {

gcc should be smart enough to optimize out the addr variable.
