kdb: Fix stack crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master

In kdb when you do 'btc' (back trace on CPU) it doesn't necessarily
give you the right info.  Specifically on many architectures
(including arm64, where I tested) you can't dump the stack of a
"running" process that isn't the process running on the current CPU.
This can be seen by this:

 echo SOFTLOCKUP > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
 # wait 2 seconds
 <sysrq>g

Here's what I see now on rk3399-gru-kevin.  I see the stack crawl for
the CPU that handled the sysrq but everything else just shows me stuck
in __switch_to() which is bogus:
