I don't think it'll cause wrong backtrace.  The real assemble code has
restored the registers and missing .cfi_restore will just make unwinder
restore them again.  There are redundant works but not breakages.

For objtool the main difference seems a thing explained in
https://maskray.me/blog/2020-11-08-stack-unwinding by Fangrui:

   Note: on RISC-V and LoongArch, the stack slot for the previous frame
   pointer is stored at fp[-2] instead of fp[0]. See [Consider
   standardising which stack slot fp points
   to](https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/issues/18)
   for the RISC-V discussion.

So perhaps we just need to code a constant named "PREV_BP_OFFSET" or
something in arch/ and use it in update_cfi_state() instead of fully re-
implement the entire function?
