stack_overflow_check() should consider the stack usage of pt_regs, and thus it could warn us in advance. Additionally, it looks a bit good that the warning time starts at INITIAL_JIFFIES.

Assume at the moment rsp get close to the check point before interrupt arrives.
When interrupt really happens, thread_info will be partly overrode.
