x86/unwind: Adjust last frame check for aligned function stacks

Somehow, CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n convinces gcc to change the
x86_64_start_kernel() prologue from:

  0000000000000129 <x86_64_start_kernel>:
   129:	55                   	push   %rbp
   12a:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp

to:

  0000000000000124 <x86_64_start_kernel>:
   124:	4c 8d 54 24 08       	lea    0x8(%rsp),%r10
   129:	48 83 e4 f0          	and    $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
   12d:	41 ff 72 f8          	pushq  -0x8(%r10)
   131:	55                   	push   %rbp
   132:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp

This is an unusual pattern which aligns rsp (though in this case it's
already aligned) and saves the start_cpu() return address again on the
stack before storing the frame pointer.

The unwinder assumes the last stack frame header is at a certain offset,
but the above code breaks that assumption, resulting in the following
warning:

  WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffffff82e03f40 in swapper:0 has bad value           (null)

Fix it by checking for the last task stack frame at the aligned offset
in addition to the normal unaligned offset.
