x86: push old stack address on irqstack for unwinder

Browse source 
Impact: Fixes dumpstack and KDB on 64 bits

This re-adds the old stack pointer to the top of the irqstack to help
with unwinding.  It was removed in commit d99015b1ab
as part of the save_args out-of-line work.

Both dumpstack and KDB require this information.
