      37fe6a42 ("x86: Check stack overflow in detail")
    
    added a broad check for the full exception stack area, i.e. it considers
    the full exception stack area as valid.
    
    That's wrong in two aspects:
    
     1) It does not check the individual areas one by one
    
     2) #DF, NMI and #MCE are not enabling interrupts which means that a
        regular device interrupt cannot happen in their context. In fact if a
        device interrupt hits one of those IST stacks that's a bug because some
        code path enabled interrupts while handling the exception.
    
    Limit the check to the #DB stack and consider all other IST stacks as
    'overflow' or invalid.
