[Crash-utility] [PATCH] Fix incorrect 'bt -v' output suggesting overflow
Change check_stack_overflow() to check if the thread_info's cpu
member is smaller than possible existing CPUs, rather than the
kernel table's cpu number (kt->cpus). The kernel table's cpu number
is changed on some architectures to reflect the highest numbered
online cpu + 1. This can cause a false positive in
check_stack_overflow() if the cpu member of a parked task's
thread_info structure, assigned to an offlined cpu, is larger than
the kt->cpus but lower than the number of existing logical cpus.
An example of this is RHEL 7 on s390x or RHEL 8 on ppc64le when
the highest numbered CPU is offlined.
