[PATCH] arm: fix returning wrong CALLER_ADDRx

[PATCH] arm: fix returning wrong CALLER_ADDRx

[Keun-O Park]

From: sahara <keun-o.park@windriver.com>

This makes return_address return correct value for ftrace feature.
unwind_frame does not update frame->lr but frame->pc for backtrace.
And, the initialization for data.addr was missing so that wrong value
returned when unwind_frame failed.

Reviewed-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org>

This is the same as a patch I previously posted:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-November/129381.html

...except for the initialisation of data.addr to NULL, which is needed
in order to prevent a garbage pointer being returned in the case where
the unwinder fails to unwind a frame before the required level
is reached.

Cheers
