[PATCH v7 3/6] arm64: ftrace: fix a stack tracer's output under function graph tracer

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame
to hook a function return. This will result in many useless entries
(return_to_handler) showing up in
 a) a stack tracer's output
 b) perf call graph (with perf record -g)
 c) dump_backtrace (at panic et al.)

For example, in case of a),
  $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_trace_enabled
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace
        Depth    Size   Location    (54 entries)
        -----    ----   --------
  0)     4504      16   gic_raise_softirq+0x28/0x150
  1)     4488      80   smp_cross_call+0x38/0xb8
  2)     4408      48   return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
  3)     4360      32   return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
  ...

In case of b),
  $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  $ perf record -e mem:XXX:x -ag -- sleep 10
  $ perf report
                  ...
                  |          |          |--0.22%-- 0x550f8
                  |          |          |          0x10888
                  |          |          |          el0_svc_naked
                  |          |          |          sys_openat
                  |          |          |          return_to_handler
                  |          |          |          return_to_handler
                  ...

In case of c),
  $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  $ echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
  ...
  Call trace:
  [<ffffffc00044d3ac>] sysrq_handle_crash+0x24/0x30
  [<ffffffc000092250>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
  [<ffffffc000092250>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
  ...

This patch replaces such entries with real addresses preserved in
current->ret_stack[] at unwind_frame(). This way, we can cover all
the cases.
