Subject: [PATCH] Enable dumping running process stack.
Currently, if the process is running, we can not dump the stack via
/proc/<pid>/stack, because in __save_stack_address() it will return
immediately if the address is not reliable.
Sometimes one process would run into dead loop in kernel, it will
facilitate debugging to have it's stack retrieved via procfs.
