arm64: stacktrace: track all stack boundaries explicitly



Currently we call an on_accessible_stack() callback for each step of the
unwinder, requiring redundant work to be performed in the core of the
unwind loop (e.g. disabling preemption around accesses to per-cpu
variables containing stack boundaries). To prevent unwind loops which go
through a stack multiple times, we have to track the set of unwound
stacks, requiring a stack_type enum which needs to cater for all the
stacks of all possible callees. To prevent loops within a stack, we must
track the prior FP values.

This patch reworks the unwinder to minimize the work in the core of the
unwinder, and to remove the need for the stack_type enum. The set of
accessible stacks (and their boundaries) are determined at the start of
the unwind, and the current stack is tracked during the unwind, with
completed stacks removed from the set of accessible stacks. This makes
the boundary checks more accurate (e.g. detecting overlapped frame
records), and removes the need for separate tracking of the prior FP and
visited stacks.
