Alex Crichton f9f6bd0589 Tweak definition of probestack functions
It looks like the old `__rust_probestack` routine is incompatible with newer
linux kernels. My best guess for this is that the kernel's auto-growth logic is
failing to trigger, causing what looks like a legitimate segfault to get
delivered. My best guess for why *that's* happening is that the faulting address
is below `%rsp`, whereas previously all faulting stack addresses were above
`%rsp`. The probestack routine does not modify `%rsp` as it's probing the stack,
and presumably newer kernels are interpreting this as a legitimate violation.

This commit tweaks the probestack routine to instead update `%rsp` incrementally
as probing happens. The ABI of the function, however, requires that `%rsp`
isn't changed as part of the function so it's restored at the end to the
previous value.
