x86/unwind/orc: Fix unreliable stack dump with gcov

When a console stack dump is initiated with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
enabled, show_trace_log_lvl() gets out of sync with the ORC unwinder,
causing the stack trace to show all text addresses as unreliable:

  # echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger

This happens when the compiled code for show_stack() has a single word
on the stack, and doesn't use a tail call to show_stack_log_lvl().
(CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y is the only known case of this.)  Then the
__unwind_start() skip logic hits an off-by-one bug and fails to unwind
all the way to the intended starting frame.

Fix it by reverting the following commit:

  f1d9a2abff66 ("x86/unwind/orc: Don't skip the first frame for inactive tasks")

The original justification for that commit no longer exists.  That
original issue was later fixed in a different way, with the following
commit:

  f2ac57a4c49d ("x86/unwind/orc: Fix inactive tasks with stack pointer in %sp on GCC 10 compiled kernels")

Fixes: f1d9a2abff66 ("x86/unwind/orc: Don't skip the first frame for inactive tasks")
