Subject: [PATCH 6/9] KVM: selftests: Add backtrace fallback

The backtrace() function is a GNU extension available in glibc but may
not be present in non-glibc libraries. KVM selftests use backtrace() for
error reporting and debugging.

Add conditional inclusion of execinfo.h only for glibc builds and
provide a weak stub implementation of backtrace() that returns 0 (stack
trace empty) for non-glibc systems.
