[PATCH] ARM: Revert "unwind: dump exception stack from calling frame"

After simplifying the stack switch code in the IRQ exception handler by
deferring the actual stack switch to call_with_stack(), we no longer
need to special case the way we dump the exception stack, since it will
always be at the top of whichever stack was active when the exception
was taken.

So revert this special handling for the ARM unwinder.

This reverts commit 4ab6827081c63b83011a18d8e27f621ed34b1194.
