Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] 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 stack tracer's output.

This patch replaces such entries with originals values preserved in
current->ret_stack[].
