i386: Remove unneeded test of 'task' in dump_trace() (again)
Commit 028a690a1ebc8b "i386: Remove unneeded test of 'task' in
dump_trace()" correctly removed the unneeded 'task != NULL'
check because it would be set to current if it was NULL.
Commit 2bc5f927d489 "i386: split out dumpstack code from
traps_32.c" moved the code from traps_32.c to its own file
dump_stack.c for preparation of the i386 / x86_64 merge.
Commit 8a541665b906 "dumpstack: x86: various small unification
steps" worked to make i386 and x86_64 dump_stack logic similar.
But this actually reverted the correct change from
028a690a1ebc8b.
Commit d0caf292505d "x86/dumpstack: Remove unneeded check in
dump_trace()" removed the unneeded "task != NULL" check for
x86_64 but left that same unneeded check for i386, that was
added because x86_64 had it!
This chain of events ironically had i386 add back the unneeded
task != NULL check because x86_64 did it, and then the fix for
x86_64 was fixed by Dan. And even more ironically, it was Dan's
smatch bot that told me that a change to dump_stack_32 I made
may be wrong if current can be NULL (it can't), as there was a
check for it by assigning task to current, and then checking if
task is NULL.
