x86/dumpstack: Don't mention RIP in "Code: "
Commit 238c9111 ("x86/dumpstack: Fix misleading instruction pointer error message") changed the "Code:" line in bug reports when RIP is an invalid pointer. In particular, the report currently says (for example): BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 ... RIP: 0010:0x0 Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6. That Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6. is quite confusing as RIP value is 0, not -42. That -42 comes from "regs->ip - PROLOGUE_SIZE", because Code is dumped with some prologue (and epilogue). So do not mention "RIP" on this line in this context.
