x86: Fixup wrong irq frame link in stacktraces

When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link
to the previous frame pointer:

- If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack
  as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame
  pointer and to link the new one to the previous.

- Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with
  the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp
  pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and
  push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to
  dereference instead of one.

In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level
and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then
be considered as unreliable.

Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

Note: This does not only affect perf events but also x86-64
stacktraces. They were considered as unreliable once we quit
the irq stack frame.
