x86/unwind: Create stack frames for saved syscall registers

Browse Source 
The entry code doesn't encode the pt_regs pointer for syscalls.  But the
pt_regs are always at the same location, so we can add a manual check
for them.

A later patch prints them as part of the oops stack dump.  They could be
useful, for example, to determine the arguments to a system call.
