[RFC PATCH v2 8/8] arm64: Implement arch_stack_walk_reliable()

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka at linux.microsoft.com>

unwind_frame() already sets the reliable flag in the stack frame during
a stack walk to indicate whether the stack trace is reliable or not.

Implement arch_stack_walk_reliable() like arch_stack_walk() but abort
the stack walk as soon as the reliable flag is set to false for any
reason.
