[PATCH] x86: fix oprofile kernel callgraph regression
Fix x86 oprofile regression introduced by: commit c34d1b4d165c67b966bca4aba026443d7ff161eb [PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable That commit reorganized tests for the userspace stack walking moving all those tests into dump_backtrace(), however, dump_backtrace() was used for both userspace and kernel stalk walking. The result is typically no recorded callgraph information for kernel samples. Revive the original function as dump_kernel_backtrace() and rename the other to dump_user_backtrace() to avoid future confusion.
