[PATCH v3 4/4] arm64: reliable stacktraces

[Torsten Duwe]

Make unwind_frame() report whether it had to stop normally or due to
an error condition; walk_stackframe() will pass that info.
__save_stack_trace() is used to check the validity of a frame;
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() can now trivially be implemented.
Modify arch/arm64/kernel/time.c for the new semantics.
