Upon function exit, KMSAN marks local variables as uninitialized.
Further function calls may result in the compiler creating the stack
frame where these local variables resided. This results in frame
pointers being marked as uninitialized data, which is normally correct,
because they are not stack-allocated.

However stack unwinding functions are supposed to read and dereference
the frame pointers, in which case KMSAN might be reporting uses of
uninitialized values.

To work around that, we mark update_stack_state(), unwind_next_frame()
and show_trace_log_lvl() with __no_kmsan_checks, preventing all KMSAN
reports inside those functions and making them return initialized
values.
