Subject: ARC: Fix KSTK_ESP()

commit 13648b0118a24f4fc76c34e6c7b6ccf447e46a2a upstream.

/proc/<pid>/maps currently don't annotate stack vma with "[stack]"
This is because KSTK_ESP ie expected to return usermode SP of tsk while
currently it returns the kernel mode SP of a sleeping tsk.

While the fix is trivial, we also need to adjust the ARC kernel stack
unwinder to not use KSTK_SP and friends any more.
