I note your reference to github, but what version of crash are you using?
The only thing that comes to mind is this fix that went into crash-7.1.8:

  - Fix for the ARM64 "bt" command in Linux 4.10 and later kernels that
    are configured with CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK.  Without the patch,
    the "bt" command will fail for active tasks in dumpfiles that were
    generated by the kdump facility.

But since you are using kernel version 4.4.35, that is presumably not
the problem.

The closest sample arm64 kernel I have available is 4.5-based, and looking
at the kernel virtual address space, both the stkptr and stackbase values 
above are out of range, so I'm not sure what's going on:
