[PATCH 5/9] arm64: Make __get_wchan() use arch_stack_walk()

[Mark Rutland]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently, __get_wchan() walks the stack of a blocked task by calling
start_backtrace() with the task's saved PC and FP values, and iterating
unwind steps using unwind_frame(). The initialization is functionally
equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk() with the blocked task, which
will start with the task's saved PC and FP values.

Currently __get_wchan() always performs an initial unwind step, which
will stkip __switch_to(), but as this is now marked as a __sched
function, this no longer needs special handling and will be skipped in
the same way as other sched functions.

Make __get_wchan() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies __get_wchan(),
and in future will alow us to make unwind_frame() private to
stacktrace.c. At the same time, we can simplify the try_get_task_stack()
check and avoid the unnecessary `stack_page` variable.

The change to the skipping logic means we may terminate one frame
earlier than previously where there are an excessive number of sched
functions in the trace, but this isn't seen in practice, and wchan is
best-effort anyway, so this should not be a problem.

Other than the above, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.
