Subject: [RESEND][PATCH v15 1/4] unwind deferred: Add unwind_user_get_cookie() API

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Add the function unwind_user_get_cookie() API that allows a subsystem to
retrieve the current context cookie. This can be used by perf to attach a
cookie to its task deferred unwinding code that doesn't use the deferred
unwind logic.
