LoongArch: Add guess unwinder support
Name "guess unwinder" comes from x86, it scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it finds. Unwinders can be used by dump_stack() and other stacktrace functions. Three stages when we do unwind, 1) unwind_start(), the prapare of unwinding, fill unwind_state. 2) unwind_done(), judge whether the unwind process is finished or not. 3) unwind_next_frame(), unwind the next frame. Add get_stack_info() to get stack info. At present we have irq stack and task stack. The next_sp is the key info between two types of stacks. Dividing unwinder helps to add new unwinders in the future. Signed-off-by: Qing Zhang <zhangqing@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>

+config UNWINDER_GUESS
+ bool "Guess unwinder"
+ help
+ This option enables the "guess" unwinder for unwinding kernel stack
+ traces. It scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it
+ finds. Some of the addresses it reports may be incorrect.
+
+ While this option often produces false positives, it can still be
+ useful in many cases.
