[PATCH] ARM: unwinder: fix bisection to find origin in .idx section

The bisection implemented in unwind_find_origin() stopped to early. If
there is only a single entry left to check the original code just took
the end point as origin which might be wrong.

This was introduced in

	de66a97 (ARM: 7187/1: fix unwinding for XIP kernels)

Hello Linus,

I suggested earlier to revert de66a97. I still think this is the safest
bet for 3.2. Anyhow here comes the fix that made Nick happy. If you
revert I'll fold it into my resubmission.

Best regards
Uwe
