[PATCH v11 3/5] arm64: Make the unwind loop in unwind() similar to other architectures

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

Change the loop in unwind()
===========================

Change the unwind loop in unwind() to:

	unwind_start(&frame, fp, pc);
	while (unwind_continue(tsk, &frame, fn, data))
		unwind_next(tsk, &frame);

New function unwind_continue()
==============================

Define a new function unwind_continue() that is used in the unwind loop
to check for conditions that terminate a stack trace.

The conditions checked are:

	- If the bottom of the stack has been reached, terminate.

	- If the consume_entry() function returns false, the caller of
	  unwind has asked to terminate the stack trace. So, terminate.

	- If unwind_next() failed for some reason (like stack corruption),
	  terminate.

Do not return an error value from unwind_next()
===============================================

We want to check for terminating conditions only in unwind_continue() from
the unwinder loop. So, do not return an error value from unwind_next().
Simply set a flag in the stackframe and check the flag in unwind_continue().
