From: Eiichi Tsukata <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit cbf5b73d162b22e044fe0b7d51dcaa33be065253 upstream. arch_stack_walk_user() checks `if (fp == frame.next_fp)` to prevent a infinite loop by self reference but it's not enogh for circular reference. Once a lack of return address is found, there is no point to continue the loop, so break out.
