x86/dumpstack: Fix partial register dumps
The show_regs_safe() logic is wrong. When there's an iret stack frame, it prints the entire pt_regs -- most of which is random stack data -- instead of just the five registers at the end. show_regs_safe() is also poorly named: the on_stack() checks aren't for safety. Rename the function to show_regs_if_on_stack() and add a comment to explain why the checks are needed. These issues were introduced with the "partial register dump" feature of the following commit: b02fcf9ba121 ("x86/unwinder: Handle stack overflows more gracefully") That patch had gone through a few iterations of development, and the above issues were artifacts from a previous iteration of the patch where 'regs' pointed directly to the iret frame rather than to the (partially empty) pt_regs.
