arm64: Make dump_backtrace() use arch_stack_walk()

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.

Currently, dump_backtrace() walks the stack of the current task or a
blocked task by calling stact_backtrace() and iterating unwind steps
using unwind_frame(). This can be written more simply in terms of
arch_stack_walk(), considering three distinct cases:

1) When unwinding a blocked task, start_backtrace() is called with the
   blocked task's saved PC and FP, and the unwind proceeds immediately
   from this point without skipping any entries. This is functionally
   equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk() with the blocked task, which
   will start with the task's saved PC and FP.

   There is no functional change to this case.

2) When unwinding the current task without regs, start_backtrace() is
   called with dump_backtrace() as the PC and __builtin_frame_address(0)
   as the next frame, and the unwind proceeds immediately without
   skipping. This is *almost* functionally equivalent to calling
   arch_stack_walk() for the current task, which will start with its
   caller (i.e. an offset into dump_backtrace()) as the PC, and the
   callers frame record as the next frame.

   The only difference being that dump_backtrace() will be reported with
   an offset (which is strictly more correct than currently). Otherwise
   there is no functional cahnge to this case.

3) When unwinding the current task with regs, start_backtrace() is
   called with dump_backtrace() as the PC and __builtin_frame_address(0)
   as the next frame, and the unwind is performed silently until the
   next frame is the frame pointed to by regs->fp. Reporting starts
   from regs->pc and continues from the frame in regs->fp.

   Historically, this pre-unwind was necessary to correctly record
   return addresses rewritten by the ftrace graph calller, but this is
   no longer necessary as these are now recovered using the FP since
   commit:

   c6d3cd32fd0064af ("arm64: ftrace: use HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR")

   This pre-unwind is not necessary to recover return addresses
   rewritten by kretprobes, which historically were not recovered, and
   are now recovered using the FP since commit:

   cd9bc2c9258816dc ("arm64: Recover kretprobe modified return address in stacktrace")

   Thus, this is functionally equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk()
   with the current task and regs, which will start with regs->pc as the
   PC and regs->fp as the next frame, without a pre-unwind.

This patch makes dump_backtrace() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies
dump_backtrace() and will permit subsequent changes to the unwind code.

Aside from the improved reporting when unwinding current without regs,
there should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
