[PATCH 6/9] arm64: Make return_address() use arch_stack_walk()

[Mark Rutland]

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

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently return_address() walks the stack of the current task by
calling start_backtrace() with return_address as the PC and the frame
pointer of return_address() as the next frame, iterating unwind steps
using walk_stackframe(). This is functionally equivalent to calling
arch_stack_walk() for the current stack, which will start from its
caller (i.e. return_address()) as the PC and it's caller's frame record
as the next frame.

Make return_address() use arch_stackwalk(). This simplifies
return_address(), and in future will alow us to make walk_stackframe()
private to stacktrace.c.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
