Subject: [PATCH -tip urgent] x86/unwind/orc: Fix error handling in __unwind_start()

The unwind_state 'error' field is used to inform the reliable unwinding
code that the stack trace can't be trusted.  Set this field for all
errors in __unwind_start().

Also, move the zeroing out of the unwind_state struct to before the ORC
table initialization check, to prevent the caller from reading
uninitialized data if the ORC table is corrupted.

Fixes: af085d9084b4 ("stacktrace/x86: add function for detecting reliable stack traces")
Fixes: d3a09104018c ("x86/unwinder/orc: Dont bail on stack overflow")
Fixes: 98d0c8ebf77e ("x86/unwind/orc: Prevent unwinding before ORC initialization")
