Subject: [PATCH v9 07/11] arm64: Call stack_backtrace() only from within walk_stackframe()

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@...ux.microsoft.com>

Currently, arch_stack_walk() calls start_backtrace() and walk_stackframe()
separately. There is no need to do that. Instead, call start_backtrace()
from within walk_stackframe(). In other words, walk_stackframe() is the only
unwind function a consumer needs to call.

Currently, the only consumer is arch_stack_walk(). In the future,
arch_stack_walk_reliable() will be another consumer.

start_backtrace(), unwind_frame() and walk_stackframe() are only used
within arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c. Make them static and remove them from
arch/arm64/include/asm/stacktrace.h.

Currently, there is a check for a NULL task in unwind_frame(). It is not
needed since all current consumers pass a non-NULL task.

Use struct stackframe only within the unwind functions.
