PATCH 2/2 MIPS: get schedule_mfi info from __schedule

schedule_mfi is supposed to be extracted from schedule(), and is used in thread_saved_pc and get_wchan.

But, after optimization, schedule() is reduced to a sibling call to __schedule(), and no real frame info can be extracted.

One solution is to compile schedule() with -fno-omit-frame-pointer and -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, but that will incur performance degradation.

This patch follows the sibling call and extracts the schedule_mfi from the __schedule with and without KALLSYMS enabled.

    #ifdef's inside function body are frowned upon. Better code it as:

#ifdef CONFIG_KALLSYMS
static unsigned long get___schedule_addr(void)

{
	return kallsyms_lookup_name("__schedule");
}
#else
static unsigned long get___schedule_addr(void)
{
	union mips_instruction *ip = (void *)schedule;
[...]
	return 0;
}

#endif
