x86/dumpstack: Add recursion checking for all stacks
in_exception_stack() has some recursion checking which makes sure the stack trace code never traverses a given exception stack more than once. This prevents an infinite loop if corruption somehow causes a stack's "next stack" pointer to point to itself (directly or indirectly). The recursion checking can be useful for other stacks in addition to the exception stack, so extend it to work for all stacks.
