[RFC PATCH] riscv: stacktrace: fix the riscv stacktrace when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled

As [1] and [2] said, the arch_stack_walk should not to trace itself, or it will
leave the trace unexpectedly when called. The example is when we do "cat
/sys/kernel/debug/page_owner", all pages' stack is the same.

arch_stack_walk+0x18/0x20
stack_trace_save+0x40/0x60
register_dummy_stack+0x24/0x5e
init_page_owner+0x2e

So we use __builtin_frame_address(1) as the first frame to be walked. And mark
the arch_stack_walk() noinline.

We found that pr_cont will affact pages' stack whose task state is RUNNING when
testing "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger". So move the place of pr_cont and mark
the function dump_backtrace() noinline.

Also we move the case when task == NULL into else branch, and test for it in
"echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger".

In this way, some crash will loss the print info "Call trace:", likes that:
