[RFC] proc: get_wchan() stack unwind only makes sense for sleeping/non-self tasks

[Vineet Gupta]

Most architectures currently check this in their get_wchan() implementation
(ARC doesn't hence this patch). However doing this in core code shows
the semantics better so move the check one level up (eventually remove
the boiler-plate code from arches)
