[PATCH] x86_64: stack unwinder crash fix

the new dwarf2 unwinder crashes while trying to dump the stack:

  Leftover inexact backtrace:

this crash happened because it did not sanitize the dwarf2 data it
got, and got an unaligned stack pointer - which happily walked past
the process stack (and eventually reached the end of kernel memory
and pagefaulted there) due to this naive iteration condition:

        HANDLE_STACK (((long) stack & (THREAD_SIZE-1)) != 0);

note that i386 is alot more conservative when it comes to trusting
stack pointers:

  static inline int valid_stack_ptr(struct thread_info *tinfo, void *p)
  {
         return  p > (void *)tinfo &&
                 p < (void *)tinfo + THREAD_SIZE - 3;
  }

but the x86_64 code did not take this bit of i386 code.

The fix is to align the stack pointer.
