Enhance the stack unwinder so that it reports whether it had to stop
normally or due to an error condition; unwind_frame() will report
continue/error/normal ending and walk_stackframe() will pass that
info. __save_stack_trace() is used to check the validity of a stack;
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() can now trivially be implemented.
Modify arch/arm64/kernel/time.c as the only external caller so far
to recognise the new semantics.
I had to introduce a marker symbol kthread_return_to_user to tell
the normal origin of a kernel thread.

Yes, I know, there might be flaws lurking...
Just for reference and completeness' sake; maybe someone wants to test.
