[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/3] backtrace: Avoid GCC warning on x86-64.

The portable implementation of stack_low(), which before this commit is
used on x86-64, provokes a warning from GCC that cannot be disabled.  We
already have an i386-specific implementation that does not warn; this
commit adds a corresponding implementation for x86-64 to avoid the warning
there too.
