[PATCH 1/4] x86: fix jprobe_saved_sp handling

This patch fixes a bug of jprobe and cleans up. jprobe for x86-64
can cause kernel page fault when the jprobe_return() is called from
incorrect function. Anyway, that path finally invokes BUG() macro,
so this is not so serious.

Based on patch from Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]>

- Use jprobe_saved_regs instead getting it from stack.
  (Especially on x86-64, it may get incorrect data, because
   pt_regs can not be get by using container_of(rsp))
- Change the type of stack pointer to unsigned long *.
