x86/dumpstack: Add support for unwinding empty IRQ stacks



When an interrupt happens in entry code while running on a software IRQ
stack, and the IRQ stack was empty, regs->sp will contain the stack end
address (e.g., irq_stack_ptr).  If the regs are passed to dump_trace(),
get_stack_info() will report STACK_TYPE_UNKNOWN, causing dump_trace() to
return prematurely without trying to go to the next stack.

Update the bounds checking for software interrupt stacks so that the
ending address is now considered part of the stack.

This means that it's now possible for the 'walk_stack' callbacks --
print_context_stack() and print_context_stack_bp() -- to be called with
an empty stack.  But that's fine; they're already prepared to deal with
that due to their on_stack() checks.
