When regs are passed to dump_stack(), we fetch the frame
pointer from the regs but the stack pointer is taken from
the current frame.
Thus the frame and stack pointers may not come from the same
context. For example this can result in the unwinder to
think the context is in irq, due to the current value of
the stack, but the frame pointer coming from the regs points
to a frame from another place. It then tries to fix up
the irq link but ends up dereferencing a random frame
pointer that doesn't belong to the irq stack:

Fix this by simply taking the stack pointer from regs->sp
when regs are provided.
