[PATCH RFC] debugobjects: Make stack check warning more informative

[Joel Fernandes <joel@joelfernandes.org>]

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>

Recently we debugged an issue where debugobject tracking was telling
us of an annotation issue. Turns out the issue was due to the object in
concern being on a different stack which was due to another issue.

Discussing with tglx, he suggested printing the pointers and the
location of the stack for the currently running task. This helped find
the object was on the wrong stack. I turned the resulting patch into
something upstreamable, so that the error message is more informative
and can help in debugging for similar issues in the future.
