i386: Remove unneeded test of 'task' in dump_trace() (again) Commit 028a690a1ebc8b "i386: Remove unneeded test of 'task' in dump_trace()" correctly removed the unneeded 'task != NULL' check because it would be set to current if it was NULL. Commit 2bc5f927d489 "i386: split out dumpstack code from traps_32.c" moved the code from traps_32.c to its own file dump_stack.c for preparation of the i386 / x86_64 merge. Commit 8a541665b906 "dumpstack: x86: various small unification steps" worked to make i386 and x86_64 dump_stack logic similar. But this actually reverted the correct change from 028a690a1ebc8b. Commit d0caf292505d "x86/dumpstack: Remove unneeded check in dump_trace()" removed the unneeded "task != NULL" check for x86_64 but left that same unneeded check for i386, that was added because x86_64 had it! This chain of events ironically had i386 add back the unneeded task != NULL check because x86_64 did it, and then the fix for x86_64 was fixed by Dan. And even more ironically, it was Dan's smatch bot that told me that a change to dump_stack_32 I made may be wrong if current can be NULL (it can't), as there was a check for it by assigning task to current, and then checking if task is NULL.
