Subject: [PATCH 5/5] unwind, test: Add backtrace unwind test code

Adding test code for backtrace unwinding. The debugfs file
'unwind_test' is created in debugfs root. Writing to this
file triggers backtrace from process and irq context.

Mostly stolen from kernel/backtracetest.c. Getting following
output in dmesg:

 # echo > ./unwind_test
 Testing unwind from process context.
 unwind backtrace:
     [0xffffffff810ef759] unw_backtrace+0x29/0x80
     [0xffffffff810ef7d4] test_write+0x24/0x90
     [0xffffffff81138940] vfs_write+0xd0/0x1a0
     [0xffffffff81138b14] sys_write+0x54/0xa0
