better logging for stack overflow, ulimit stack to small

With this PMR we were searching quite hard for the reason, why a 3rd-party-software was dying with segmentation fault in dynamic linked shared library libdb1.so

We could only see:
Feb 18 09:01:56 smtcb00254 kernel: [1270273.292859] os4x_licinfo[36589]: segfault at 7fffff7fe728 ip 00007ffff509d258 sp 00007fffff7fe730 error 6 in libdb2.so.1[7ffff4aef000+23ce000]
And:
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
==10541== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV): dumping core
==10541== Access not within mapped region at address 0x7FE800808

But nothing, except the IBM Support with this PMR, was giving a hint, that the stacksize was a problem.
Solution was at the end to increase default kernel stack size from 8MB to a bigger value. (ulimit -s)

Further information should be available in the PMR.

Request:
please increase and optimze logging in this failure-situation and catch this failure, eg. like this:
printk(KERN_ALERT "stack size $stack too small, increase with ulimit –s ... . EXIT\n");
