[PATCH v3 09/10] ARM: call_with_stack: add unwind support

Restructure the code and add the unwind annotations so that both the
frame pointer unwinder as well as the EHABI unwind info based unwinder
will be able to follow the call stack through call_with_stack().

Since GCC and Clang use different formats for the stack frame, two
methods are implemented: a GCC version that pushes fp, sp, lr and pc for
compatibility with the frame pointer unwinder, and a second version that
works with Clang, as well as with the EHABI unwinder both in ARM and
Thumb2 modes.
