fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat
Reporting these fields on a non-current task is dangerous. If the
task is in any state other than normal kernel code, they may contain
garbage or even kernel addresses on some architectures. (x86_64
used to do this. I bet lots of architectures still do.) With
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y, it can OOPS, too.
As far as I know, there are no use programs that make any material
use of these fields, so just get rid of them.
