perf: Pass appropriate frame pointer to dump_trace()
Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace. Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before retrieving the interrupted point. We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.
