x86: add a simple backtrace test module 

During the work on the x86 32 and 64 bit backtrace code I found it useful
to have a simple test module to test a process and irq context backtrace.
Since the existing backtrace code was buggy, I figure it might be useful
to have such a test module in the kernel so that maybe we can even
detect such bugs earlier..

This option provides a kernel module that can be used to test
the kernel stack backtrace code. This option is not useful
for distributions or general kernels, but only for kernel
developers working on architecture code.
