Not sure what the others think, but I hate this polish notation for
compares. One does not say "if zero does not equal
printk_nmi_backtrace_prepare()", they say "if
printk_nmi_backtrace_prepare() does not return zero".

And the reason for polish notation is to prevent the:

        if (x = 0)

mistake. Which gcc warns about anyway. Also, this doesn't even pertain
to this code because:

        if (printk_nmi_backtrace_prepare() = 0)

would fail to compile.
