[ 029/136 ] tracing: Use stack of calling function for stack tracer

[Steven Rostedt]

3.6.11.4 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 87889501d0adfae10e3b0f0e6f2d7536eed9ae84 ]

Use the stack of stack_trace_call() instead of check_stack() as
the test pointer for max stack size. It makes it a bit cleaner
and a little more accurate.

Adding stable, as a later fix depends on this patch.
