x86/unwind: Include __schedule() in stack traces

In the following commit:

  0100301bfdf5 ("sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code")

... the layout of the 'inactive_task_frame' struct was designed to have
a frame pointer header embedded in it, so that the unwinder could use
the 'bp' and 'ret_addr' fields to report __schedule() on the stack (or
ret_from_fork() for newly forked tasks which haven't actually run yet).

Finish the job by changing get_frame_pointer() to return a pointer to
inactive_task_frame's 'bp' field rather than 'bp' itself.  This allows
the unwinder to start one frame higher on the stack, so that it properly
reports __schedule().
