x86: improve the 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer to also use the trad…

…itional backtrace

The 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer code checks if the EBP is valid
to do a backtrace; however currently on a failure it just gives up
and prints nothing. That's not very nice; we can do better and still
print a decent backtrace.

This patch changes the backtracer to use the regular backtracing algorithm
at the same time as the EBP backtracer; the EBP backtracer is basically
used to figure out which part of the backtrace are reliable vs those
which are likely to be noise.
