Subject: [PATCH] x86: profiling: Using generic unwinding in profile_pc

Syzbot has been reporting the problem of stack-out-of-bounds in
profile_pc for a long time:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=84fe685c02cd112a2ac3

profile_pc tries to get pc if current regs is inside lock function. For
!CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER it used a hack way to get the pc from stack, which
is not work with ORC. It makes profile_pc returns wrong result, and
frequently triggers KASAN.

This can be fixed by using the unwind_start, it will skip the first
regs frame and get the caller of lock function directly, or 0 if
unwind_get_return_address finds the unwinding failed. For all of FP, ORC
and guess unwinders it works.

Fixes: 0cb91a229364 ("[PATCH] i386: Account spinlocks to the caller during profiling for !FP kernels")
