Subject: [for-next][PATCH 11/24] tracing: Fix ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to use task and not current

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The function ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() takes a task struct descriptor but
uses current as the task to perform the operations on. In pretty much all
cases the task decriptor is the same as current, so this wasn't an issue.
But there is a case in the ARM architecture that passes in a task that is
not current, and expects a result from that task, and this code breaks it.

Fixes: 51584396cff5 ("arm64: Use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() instead of curr_ret_stack")
