DTrace: stack() does not print kernel module functions for i386

Hello Mark,
    I tested the patch and works good, did some basic testing. Marcel
too pointed to the other occurrence of is_elf_obj in the file and that
it should not include ET_DYN which is when I realized  it was not the
right thing to do, i was trying to read up more on this,  guess this
patch takes care of it. Thanks for fixing this.

Thanks,
