[PATCH v2 3/5] ARM: stacktrace: Allow stack trace saving for non-current tasks

[Li Huafei]

The current ARM implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk() does not allow
saving stack trace for non-current tasks, which may limit the scenarios
in which stack_trace_save_tsk() can be used. Like other architectures,
or like ARM's unwind_backtrace(), we can leave it up to the caller to
ensure that the task that needs to be unwound is not running.
