print_context_stack_reliable() is a generic function that might
eventualy be used also outside livepatch code. If there is
preempt_schedule_irq() on the stack, it means that the rest
of the stack might be unreliable and it should be detected
by the function itself.

Let's forget the idea of moving the check into the livepatch
code :-)
