    Fix incorrect (or infinite loop) unwind on RHEL7 x86 32 bits.

    On RHEL7 x86 32 bits, Valgrind unwinder cannot properly unwind

    the stack just after a thread creation : the unwinder always retrieves

    the same pc/sp/bp.

    See below for an example.

    This has as consequences that some stack traces are bigger than

    needed (i.e. they always fill up the ips array). If

    --merge-recursive-frames is given, then the unwinder enters in an

    infinite loop (as identical frames will be merged, and the ips array

    will never be filled in).

    Thi patch adds an additional exit condition : after unwinding

    a frame, if the previous sp is >= new sp, then unwinding stops.

    Patch has been tested on debian 8/x86, RHEL7/x86.

       0x0417db6b <+59>:    mov    0x28(%esp),%edi

       0x0417db6f <+63>:    mov    $0x78,%eax

       0x0417db74 <+68>:    mov    %ebx,(%ecx)

       0x0417db76 <+70>:    int    $0x80

    => 0x0417db78 <+72>:    pop    %edi

       0x0417db79 <+73>:    pop    %esi

       0x0417db7a <+74>:    pop    %ebx

       0x0417db7b <+75>:    test   %eax,%eax

    Valgrind stacktrace gives:

    ==21261==    at 0x417DB78: clone (clone.S:110)

    ==21261==    by 0x424702F: ???

    ==21261==    by 0x424702F: ???

    ==21261==    by 0x424702F: ???

    ==21261==    by 0x424702F: ???

    ==21261==    by 0x424702F: ???

    ==21261==    by 0x424702F: ???

    ...

    (till the array of ips is full)

    while gdb stacktrace gives:

    (gdb) bt

    #0  clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/clone.S:110

    #1  0x00000000 in ?? ()

    (gdb) p $pc

    $2 = (void (*)()) 0x417db78 <clone+72>

    (gdb)

    With the fix, valgrind gives:

    ==21261==    at 0x417DB78: clone (clone.S:110)

    ==21261==    by 0x424702F: ???

    which looks more reasonable.
