Testing has shown that the backtrace sometimes does not fit
into the 4kB temporary buffer that is used in NMI context.
The warnings are gone when I double the temporary buffer size.
Note that this problem existed even in the x86-specific
implementation that was added by the commit a9edc8809328
("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs").
Nobody noticed it because it did not print any warnings.
