[PATCH] riscv: stacktrace: fix dump_backtrace/walk_stackframe with NULL task

Some places try to show backtrace with NULL task, and expect the task is
'current'. For example, dump_stack()->show_stack(NULL,...). So the
stacktrace code should take care of this case.

Here is an oops caused by this issue when accessing the NULL task.

[   15.180813] Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.

This patch fixes it by setting the task to current if it's NULL before
accessing it.
