Subject: [PATCH 1/1] arm/stacktrace: stop unwinding after an invalid address.

This patch stops unwinding backtrace in case of below 2 cases.

(Issue observed while porting stackdepot on ARM, duplicate
entries created in stackdepot
reference patch for workaround in stackdepot:-
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/11/353
).

1. If address belongs to irq/exception code, ignore it.
save_stack+0x40/0xec
__set_page_owner+0x2c/0x64
....
....
__handle_domain_irq+0x9c/0x130
gic_handle_irq+0x40/0x80
__irq_usr+0x4c/0x60
0xb6507818
^^^^^^^

2. If address belongs to junk entry, ignore it
kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x1e8/0x21c
rb_allocate_cpu_buffer+0xf0/0x25c
__ring_buffer_alloc+0xf8/0x1e0
trace_init+0xe0/0x2cc
start_kernel+0x30c/0x448
0x400080a0
^^^^^^^
