[PATCH 1/2] x86/unwind: Silence more entry-code related warnings

Borislav Petkov reported the following unwinder warning:

It unwinded from an interrupt which came in right after entry code
called into a C syscall handler, before it had a chance to set up the
frame pointer, so regs->bp still had its user space value.

Add a check to silence warnings in such a case, where an interrupt
has occurred and regs->sp is almost at the end of the stack.
