Josh Poimboeuf e18bcccd1a x86/dumpstack: Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder
Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder.  dump_trace() has
been deprecated.

show_trace_log_lvl() is special compared to other users of the unwinder.
It's the only place where both reliable *and* unreliable addresses are
needed.  With frame pointers enabled, most callers of the unwinder don't
want to know about unreliable addresses.  But in this case, when we're
dumping the stack to the console because something presumably went
wrong, the unreliable addresses are useful:

- They show stale data on the stack which can provide useful clues.

- If something goes wrong with the unwinder, or if frame pointers are
  corrupt or missing, all the stack addresses still get shown.

So in order to show all addresses on the stack, and at the same time
figure out which addresses are reliable, we have to do the scanning and
the unwinding in parallel.

The scanning is done with the help of get_stack_info() to traverse the
stacks.  The unwinding is done separately by the new unwinder.

In theory we could simplify show_trace_log_lvl() by instead pushing some
of this logic into the unwind code.  But then we would need some kind of
"fake" frame logic in the unwinder which would add a lot of complexity
and wouldn't be worth it in order to support only one user.

Another benefit of this approach is that once we have a DWARF unwinder,
we should be able to just plug it in with minimal impact to this code.

Another change here is that callers of show_trace_log_lvl() don't need
to provide the 'bp' argument.  The unwinder already finds the relevant
frame pointer by unwinding until it reaches the first frame after the
provided stack pointer.
