Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 10/15] unwind_user: Enable archs that save RA/FP in other registers

Enable unwinding of user space for architectures, such as s390, that
save the return address (RA) and/or frame pointer (FP) in other
registers.  This is only valid in the topmost frame, for instance when
in a leaf function.

Notes (jremus):
    Changes in RFC v2:
    - Reword HAVE_UNWIND_USER_LOC_REG help text.
    - Rename struct unwind_user_reginfo field frame_off to offset. (Josh)
    - Move dummy unwind_user_get_reg() from asm-generic/unwind_user.h
      to linux/unwind_user.h, drop its function comment, warn once,
      return -EINVAL, and guard by !HAVE_UNWIND_USER_LOC_REG. (Josh)
    - Rename generic_sframe_set_frame_reginfo() to sframe_init_reginfo()
      and drop its function comment. (Josh)
    - Do not check FP/RA offset for zero for UNWIND_USER_LOC_STACK. (Josh)
    - Do not check for !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_UNWIND_USER_LOC_REG), as
      the dummy implementation of unwind_user_get_reg() returns -EINVAL.
    - Drop config option HAVE_UNWIND_USER_LOC_REG, as it is no longer of
      any value.
    - Keep checking for topmost for UNWIND_USER_LOC_REG. (Jens)
    - Explicitly preserve FP if UNWIND_USER_LOC_NONE and drop later test
      for frame->fp.loc != UNWIND_USER_LOC_NONE. (Josh)
    
    Would it make sense to rename UNWIND_USER_LOC_NONE to one of the
    following to clarify its meaning for the unwinder?
    - UNWIND_USER_LOC_UNCHANGED
    - UNWIND_USER_LOC_RETAIN
    - UNWIND_USER_LOC_PRESERVED
    - UNWIND_USER_LOC_IDENTITY
