Subject: x86/stacktrace: remove STACKTRACE_DUMP_ONCE from
 __save_stack_trace_reliable
Patch-mainline: submitted on 2017/12/5
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.
