x86/dumpstack/64: Speedup in_exception_stack()

The current implementation of in_exception_stack() iterates over the
exception stacks array. Most of the time this is an useless exercise, but
even for the actual use cases (perf and ftrace) it takes at least 2
iterations to get to the NMI stack.

As the exception stacks and the guard pages are page aligned the loop can
be avoided completely.

Add a initial check whether the stack pointer is inside the full exception
stack area and leave early if not.

Create a lookup table which describes the stack area. The table index is
the page offset from the beginning of the exception stacks. So for any
given stack pointer the page offset is computed and a lookup in the
description table is performed. If it is inside a guard page, return. If
not, use the descriptor to fill in the info structure.

The table is filled at compile time and for the !KASAN case the interesting
page descriptors exactly fit into a single cache line. Just the last guard
page descriptor is in the next cacheline, but that should not be accessed
in the regular case.
