x86: use kernel_stack_pointer() in kprobes.c 



The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in
32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack
pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the
actual previous stack frame.  For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer()
instead of coding this weirdness explicitly.
