[PATCH] arm64: avoid potential infinity loop in dump_backtrace

When we dump the backtrace of some tasks there is a potential infinity
loop if the content of the stack changed, no matter the change is
because the task is running or other unexpected cases.

This patch add stronger check on frame pointer and set the max number
of stack spanning to avoid infinity loop.
