After r355784 the td_oncpu field is no longer synchronized by the thread
lock, so the stack capture interrupt cannot be delievered precisely.
Fix this using a loop which drops the thread lock and restarts if the
wrong thread was sampled from the stack capture interrupt handler.
Change the implementation to use a regular interrupt instead of an NMI.
Now that we drop the thread lock, there is no advantage to the latter.
Simplify the KPIs. Remove stack_save_td_running() and add a return
value to stack_save_td(). On platforms that do not support stack
capture of running threads, stack_save_td() returns EOPNOTSUPP. If the
target thread is running in user mode, stack_save_td() returns EBUSY.

running thread.
It is currently implemented only on amd64 and i386; on these
architectures, it is implemented by raising an NMI on the CPU on which
the target thread is currently running. Unlike stack_save_td(), it may
fail, for example if the thread is running in user mode.
This change also modifies the kern.proc.kstack sysctl to use this function,
so that stacks of running threads are shown in the output of "procstat -kk".
This is handy for debugging threads that are stuck in a busy loop.

since on amd64 the first argument to a function is generally not on the
stack.
Revert an old DTrace bug fix to some code that assumed that
sizeof(struct amd64_frame) == 16.
