x86, debug: remove the confusing entry in call trace

Impact: improve backtrace quality

avoid the confusion in call trace because of the lack of padding at the
tail of function.

When do_exit gets called, the return address behind call instruction is
pushed into stack. If something get wrong in do_exit, for x86_64, the
entry "kernel_execve +0x00/0xXX" rather than "child_rip +0xYY/0xZZ" is
in the call trace.

That looks confusing, so add a u2d to make the return address still part
of the original call site. (This also catches any instances of us returning
from that function somehow.)
