[PATCH v3 1/7] arm64: ftrace: adjust callsite addresses examined by stack tracer

On arm64, no PC values returned by save_stack_trace() will match to LR
values saved in stack frames on a stack after the following commit:
    commit e306dfd06fcb ("ARM64: unwind: Fix PC calculation")
As a result, the output from stack tracer will be messed up.

This patch introduces an arch-defined macro, FTRACE_STACK_FRAME_OFFSET,
so that check_stack() can handle this case correctly.
