[ This can be merged with uml-implement-get_wchan.patch ]

The previous get_wchan patch needed some more work.  Joe Perches
suggested the use of bool where I was using a counter.  It also turned
out not to work so well on x86_64, so I changed the algorithm a bit.
Instead of skipping one frame and looking for the next non-sched
symbol, it now looks for at least one scheduler frame, then returns
the first symbol seen above that.
