Subject: [PATCH] riscv: stacktrace: fix backtracing through exceptions

Prior to commit 5d5fc33ce58e ("riscv: Improve exception and system call
latency"), backtrace through exception worked since ra was filled with
ret_from_exception symbol address and the stacktrace code checked 'pc' to
be equal to that symbol. Now that handle_exception uses regular 'call'
instructions, this isn't working anymore and backtrace stops at
handle_exception(). Since there are multiple call site to C code in the
exception handling path, rather than checking multiple potential return
addresses, add a new symbol at the end of exception handling and check pc
to be in that range.

Fixes: 5d5fc33ce58e ("riscv: Improve exception and system call latency")
