Latest kernel has a kernel panic in booting on i386 machine when
profile=2 setting in cmdline. It is due to 'sp' being incorrect in
profile_pc().

This differs from the original version by Alex Shi in that we use the
kernel_stack_pointer() inline already defined in <asm/ptrace.h> for
this purpose, instead of #ifdef.
