Seems wrong here, we don't have any op->src.offset for [mov x29, sp] so here we
get: fp->offset = -cfa->offset. The dumped info also proves this.

Obviously this is not conform to the reliability check because we get
frame->cfa == fp here.

IIUC your sp_offset equals to stack length, and fp_offset is offset from next
x29 to next CFA. So maybe here we should have
regs[CFI_FP].offset = regs[CFI_SP].offset for [mov x29, sp].

Anyway, in original objtool sp_offset and fp_offset both represents the offset
from CFA to REGs. I think it's better not spoiling their original meaning and
just extending.
