This doesn't look right. Since unwind_frame uses READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(),
we should never perform an access that KASAN complains about.

I don't think that we should completely disable instrumentation of
stacktrace.c.

Can you please figure out precisely which line KASAN is complaining
about? i.e. use scripts/faddr2line.

Thanks,
Mark.
