[patch] X86: add sysctl for kstack_depth_to_print

[Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>]

Add sysctl for kstack_depth_to_print. This lets users change
the amount of raw stack data printed in dump_stack() without
having to reboot.

Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>

Tested on i386; compiled on x86_64.
