arm: Export save_stack_trace_tsk()

[dustinb@codeaurora.org (Dustin Brown)]

Hi Russell,

I apologize for the trouble! I'm not sure how it happened (it looks fund
below after all), but I will try to be extra careful in the future.

Thanks,

-Dustin

Hi Dustin,

I'm not sure why, but when I merged this, your commit log appears to be
entirely on two very long lines.  Linux requires that commit messages are
sensibly wrapped such that they can be read in git log on an 80 column
display - please take care in future to ensure that commit messages are
appropriately wrapped.

I'm having to reformat the commit manually.

There are cases where wrapping is not appropriate (eg, when quoting program
output or kernel messages.)

Thanks.
