ARM: 8691/1: Export save_stack_trace_tsk()
The kernel watchdog is a great debugging tool for finding tasks that
consume a disproportionate amount of CPU time in contiguous chunks. One
can imagine building a similar watchdog for arbitrary driver threads
using save_stack_trace_tsk() and print_stack_trace(). However, this is
not viable for dynamically loaded driver modules on ARM platforms
because save_stack_trace_tsk() is not exported for those architectures.
Export save_stack_trace_tsk() for the ARM architecture to align with
x86 and support various debugging use cases such as arbitrary driver
thread watchdog timers.
