Subject: [PATCH 35/89] x86_64: Correct the identifier when locating the call
 instruction

The previous implementation to locate the call instruction is
to strstr "call", then check whether the previous char is ' '
or '\t'. The implementation is problematic. For example it
cannot resolve the following disassembly string:

"0xffffffffc0995378 <nfs41_callback_svc+344>:\tcall   0xffffffff8ecfa4c0 <schedule>\n"

strstr will locate the "_call" and char check fails,
as a result, extract_hex fails to get the calling address.

NOTE: the issue is more likely to be reproduced when patch[1] applied.
Because without patch[1], the disassembly string will be as follows,
so the issue is no longer reproducible.

"0xffffffffc0995378:\tcall   0xffffffff8ecfa4c0 <schedule>\n"

Before the patch:
    crash> bt 1472
    PID: 1472     TASK: ffff8c121fa72f70  CPU: 18   COMMAND: "nfsv4.1-svc"
     #0 [ffff8c16231a3db8] __schedule at ffffffff8ecf9ef3
     #1 [ffff8c16231a3e40] schedule at ffffffff8ecfa4e9

After the patch:
    crash> bt 1472
    PID: 1472     TASK: ffff8c121fa72f70  CPU: 18   COMMAND: "nfsv4.1-svc"
     #0 [ffff8c16231a3db8] __schedule at ffffffff8ecf9ef3
     #1 [ffff8c16231a3e40] schedule at ffffffff8ecfa4e9
     #2 [ffff8c16231a3e50] nfs41_callback_svc at ffffffffc099537d [nfsv4]
     #3 [ffff8c16231a3ec8] kthread at ffffffff8e6b966f
     #4 [ffff8c16231a3f50] ret_from_fork at ffffffff8ed07898

This patch fix the issue by strstr "\tcall" and " call", to
locate the correct call instruction.
