Subject: x86/stacktrace: Remove STACKTRACE_DUMP_ONCE
Git-commit: 17426923b03f098da83b8c1e044934a34959f69b
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
References: bnc#1058115

The stack unwinding can sometimes fail yet. Especially with the
generated debug info. So do not yell at users -- live patching (the only
user of this interface) will inform the user about the failure
gracefully.

And given this was the only user of the macro, remove the macro proper
too.
