[PATCH] ARM: Dump the stack traces based on the parameter 'regs' of show_regs()

Function show_regs() is usually called in interrupt handler or exception
handler, it prints the registers specified by the parameter 'regs', then
dump the stack traces. Although not explicitly documented, dump the stack
traces based on'regs' seems to make the most sense. Although dump_stack()
can finally dump the desired content, because 'regs' are saved by the
entry of current interrupt or exception. In the following example we can
see: 1) The backtrace of interrupt or exception handler is not expected,
it causes confusion. 2) Something is printed repeatedly. The line with
the kernel version "CPU: 0 PID: 70 Comm: test0 Not tainted 5.19.0+ #8",
the registers saved in "Exception stack" which 'regs' actually point to.
For example:
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 0-....: (499 ticks this GP) idle=379/1/0x40000002 softirq=91/91 fqs=249
(t=500 jiffies g=-911 q=13 ncpus=4)
