perf: Pass appropriate frame pointer to dump_trace()

Browse Source 
Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path
to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace.

Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the
callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because
we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before
retrieving the interrupted point.

We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the
captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.
