[RFC PATCH v2 6/8] arm64: Check the return PC of every stack frame

[madvenka at linux.microsoft.com]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka at linux.microsoft.com>

If a function encountered in a stack trace is not a valid kernel text
address, the stack trace is considered unreliable. Mark the stack trace
as not reliable.
