Subject: [PATCH] x86/unwind: fix oprofile module link error

When compiling on x86 with CONFIG_OPROFILE=m and CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n,
the oprofile module fails to link:

  ERROR: ftrace_graph_ret_addr" [arch/x86/oprofile/oprofile.ko] undefined!

The problem was introduced when oprofile was converted to use the new
x86 unwinder.  When frame pointers are disabled, the "guess" unwinder's
unwind_get_return_address() is an inline function which calls
ftrace_graph_ret_addr(), which is not exported.

Fix it by converting the "guess" version of unwind_get_return_address()
to an exported out-of-line function, just like its frame pointer
counterpart.

Fixes: ec2ad9ccf12d ("oprofile/x86: Convert x86_backtrace() to use the new unwinder")
