[PATCH 1/1] ARM: add stacktrace support for non current tasks on SMP

[Zhen Lei]

1. An invalid frame.xx can not lead kernel to crash, this should be
guaranteed by function unwind_frame itself. Otherwise, walk the stack
trace of current is also at risk.
2. There is no way to prevent the walked task becoming rq->curr during
walk_stackframe. This means some entries traced maybe inconsistent. But
it's better than none. Besides, we can dump it again.
