kprobes, x86/ptrace.h: Make regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() not fault on bad stack Andy had some concerns about using regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() in a new function regs_get_kernel_argument() as if there's any error in the stack code, it could cause a bad memory access. To be on the safe side, call probe_kernel_read() on the stack address to be extra careful in accessing the memory. A helper function, regs_get_kernel_stack_nth_addr(), was added to just return the stack address (or NULL if not on the stack), that will be used to find the address (and could be used by other functions) and read the address with kernel_probe_read().
