s390/dumpstack: fix call chain walking
dumpstack() did not always print a sane callchain when being called.
The reason is that show_trace() accessed register 15 directly to get
the current stack pointer and passed that pointer to __show_trace()
which expects a valid stack frame pointer as argument.
However due to tail call optimization the stack frame may not exist
anymore when __show_trace() gets called and therefore an invalid
stack frame pointer gets passed.
To prevent that disable tail call optimization for call chain walking
functions.
So move all the show_* functions to a dumpstack.c file like other
architectures have it already and add a -fno-optimize-sibling-calls
compile flag to both dumpstack.c and stacktrace.c to prevent tail
call optimization.
Fixes callchains that looked e.g. like this:
[ 12.868258] Call Trace:
[ 12.868262] ([<0000000000008000>] 0x8000)
