x86/stacktrace: Avoid recording save_stack_trace() wrappers
The save_stack_trace() and save_stack_trace_tsk() wrappers of
__save_stack_trace() add themselves to the call stack, and thus appear in the
recorded stacktraces. This is redundant and wasteful when we have limited space
to record the useful part of the backtrace with e.g. page_owner functionality.
Fix this by making sure __save_stack_trace() is noinline (which matches the
current gcc decision) and bumping the skip in the wrappers
(save_stack_trace_tsk() only when called for the current task). This is similar
to what was done for arm in 3683f44c42e9 ("ARM: stacktrace: avoid listing
stacktrace functions in stacktrace") and is pending for arm64.
Also make sure that __save_stack_trace_reliable() doesn't get this problem in
the future by marking it __always_inline (which matches current gcc decision),
per Josh Poimboeuf.
