rcu: Dump local stack if cannot dump all CPUs' stacks
The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function is a no-op in architectures that do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace. On such architectures, RCU CPU stall warning messages contain no stack trace information, which makes debugging quite difficult. This commit therefore substitutes dump_stack() for architectures that do not define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace, so that at least the local CPU's stack is dumped as part of the RCU CPU stall warning message.
