[PATCH 2/6] oprofile/x86: add regs->ip to oprofile trace

dump_trace() doesn't add the interrupted instruction's address to the
trace, so add it manually. This makes the profile more useful, and also
makes it more consistent with what perf profiling does.

Adding oprofile-list in case someone has objections since this may
break userland tools.

Ingo, please apply the patch to tip once this series is ok to you.

Thanks,
