When the kernel log is acquired over a serial cable it is not uncommon
for the log to contain carriage return characters, in addition to the
expected line feeds.

When this output is feed into decode_stacktrace.sh, handle_line() fails
to strip the trailing ']' off the module name, which results in
find_module() not being able to find the referred to kernel module. This
is reported to the user as:

  WARNING! Modules path isn't set, but is needed to parse this symbol

The solution is to reconfigure the serial port, or to strip the carriage
returns from the log, but this isn't obvious from the error reported by
the script.

Instead, make decode_stacktrace.sh more user friendly by stripping the
trailing carriage return.
