dump_stack: serialize the output from dump_stack()
Add functionality to serialize the output from dump_stack() to avoid mangling of the output when dump_stack is called simultaneously from multiple cpus. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix comment indenting, avoid inclusion of <asm/> files - use <linux/> where possiblem fix uniprocessor build (__dump_stack undefined), remove unneeded ifdef around smp.h inclusion] Signed-off-by: Alex Thorlton <athorlton@sgi.com> Reported-by: Russ Anderson <rja@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com> Cc: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: David S.
