[PATCH] ARM:Fix incomplete stacktrace when unwind ftrace_regs_caller

We can use register_ftrace_function(&ops) to
register a function callback.
if we set FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS in ftrace flags(flags in ops),
then do stack unwind
like dump_stack or WARN in the callback,we get incomplete stacktrace.
The stack unwind ends in ftrace_regs_caller.

Below is the output from test code.
The test code do register_ftrace_function
with FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS set,
and set sysrq_handle_loglevel as filter,then do dump_stack
in callback.It can not continue to
unwind the stack from ftrace_regs_call

echo 7 >/proc/sysrq-trigger
sysrq: Changing Loglevel
CPU: 1 PID: 145 Comm: sh Not tainted
5.17.0-rc4-00002-gb0dc07624ccd-dirty #2
[    9.023226][  T145] Hardware name: Generic DT based system
[    9.023670][  T145]  unwind_backtrace from show_stack+0x28/0x2c
[    9.024070][  T145]  show_stack from dump_stack_lvl+0x48/0x54
[    9.024298][  T145]  dump_stack_lvl from ftrace_regs_call+0x4/0x18
[    9.024650][  T145] sysrq: Loglevel set to 7

Fix it by adding unwind directives in ftrace_regs_caller.
