The recent change which added READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to read the nth entry
from the kernel stack incorrectly dropped dereferencing of the stack
pointer in order to read the requested entry.

In result the address of the entry is returned instead of its content.

Dereference the pointer again to fix this.
