[PATCH 0/2] x86: Fix perf deadlock caused by dumpstack cleanup

[Steven Rostedt]

Linus,

Here are two patches that fix the deadlock that you discovered.

The first patch is the real culprit, but as I was looking at the code
I realized that the irq stack part was a bit off too. That part didn't
cause the lock up, but needs to be fixed regardless.

Note, I'm hoping to use these clean ups to make x86_64 and i386 code
a bit closer to each other, so I hope the original change does not
get reverted.
