x86/dumpstack: When OOPSing, rewind the stack before do_exit()

If we call do_exit() with a clean stack, we greatly reduce the risk of
recursive oopses due to stack overflow in do_exit, and we allow
do_exit to work even if we OOPS from an IST stack.  The latter gives
us a much better chance of surviving long enough after we detect a
stack overflow to write out our logs.
