[PATCH v2] arm/stacktrace: stop unwinding after an invalid address.

[PATCH v2] arm/stacktrace: stop unwinding after an invalid address.

[Maninder Singh]

This patch stops unwinding backtrace in case address does not
belong to kernel address like below:-

....
__do_fault+0x4c/0xa8
handle_mm_fault+0xb74/0x11c0
do_page_fault+0x29c/0x38c
do_DataAbort+0x40/0xb8
__dabt_usr+0x44/0x60
0xb6748ea4
^^^^^^^^

So this patch discards last junk entry.

Any Inputs or Comments on this patch to avoid storing user space entries 
during unwind.
