arm64: ftrace: fix a stack tracer's output under function graph tracer
Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame
to hook a function return. This will result in many useless entries
(return_to_handler) showing up in
a) a stack tracer's output
b) perf call graph (with perf record -g)
c) dump_backtrace (at panic et al.)
For example, in case of a),
$ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_trace_enabled
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace

This patch replaces such entries with real addresses preserved in
current->ret_stack[] at unwind_frame(). This way, we can cover all
the cases.
