[RFC 2/3] arm64: refactor save_stack_trace()

[AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@linaro.org>]

Ftrace's stack tracer on arm64 returns wrong information about call stacks:

        Depth    Size   Location    (50 entries)
        -----    ----   --------
  0)     5256       0   notifier_call_chain+0x30/0x94
  1)     5256       0   ftrace_call+0x0/0x4
  2)     5256       0   notifier_call_chain+0x2c/0x94
  3)     5256       0   raw_notifier_call_chain+0x34/0x44
  4)     5256       0   timekeeping_update.constprop.9+0xb8/0x114
  5)     5256       0   update_wall_time+0x408/0x6dc

One of tracer functions, ftrace_call (or mcount), is unexpectedly listed.
The *bare* stack dump returned by save_stack_trace() is:
	save_stack_trace_tsk()
	save_stack_trace()
	stack_trace_call()
	ftrace_ops_no_ops()
	ftrace_call()
	notifier_call_chain()
	raw_notifier_call_chain()
	...

On arm64, save_stack_trace() calls save_stack_trace_tsk() and this will
result in putting additional stack frame in the returned list.
This behavior, however, conflicts with  stack stracer's assumption
that the number of functions to be skiped as part of tracer is 4, from
save_stack_trace() to mcount(), if ftrace_ops_list_func() is used.
The value is hard coded in check_patch().

This patch refactors save_stack_trace() and save_stack_trace_tsk() in order
to reduce the stack depth by making the common code inlined.
