We want to move dump_stack related functions out of printk C
code and consolidate them in lib/dump_stack file. The reason why
dump_stack_print_info()/etc ended up in printk.c was a "generic"
(dummy) lib dump_stack() function, which archs can override.
For example, blackfin and nds32, define their own EXPORT_SYMBOL
dump_stack() functions.
In case of blackfin that arch-specific dump_stack() symbol invokes
a global dump_stack_print_info() function. So we can't easily move
dump_stack_print_info() to lib/dump_stack, because this way we will
link with lib/dump_stack.o file, which will bring in a generic
dump_stack() symbol with it, causing a multiple definitions error:
- one dump_stack() from arch/blackfin/dumpstack
- the other one from lib/dump_stack
Convert generic dump_stack() into a weak symbol. So we will be
able link with lib/dump_stack and at the same time archs will
be able to override dump_stack(). It also opens up a way for us
to move dump_stack_set_arch_desc(), dump_stack_print_info() and
show_regs_print_info() to lib/dump_stack.
