x86_32: Return actual stack when requesting sp from regs

As x86_32 traps do not save sp when taken in kernel mode, we need to
accommodate the sp when requesting to get the register.

This affects kprobes.

Before:

# echo 'p:ftrace sys_read+4 s=%sp' > /debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
# cat trace
sshd-1345 [000] d... 489.117168: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=b7e96768
sshd-1345 [000] d... 489.117191: ftrace: (sys_read+0x4/0x70) s=b7e96768
