arm64: stacktrace: always inline core stacktrace functions

Browse source

The arm64 stacktrace code can be used in kprobe context, and so cannot
be safely probed. Some (but not all) of the unwind functions are
annotated with `NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()` to ensure this, with others markes as
`__always_inline`, relying on the top-level unwind function being marked
as `noinstr`.

This patch has stacktrace.c consistently mark the internal stacktrace
functions as `__always_inline`, removing the need for NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
as the top-level unwind function (arch_stack_walk()) is marked as
`noinstr`. This is more consistent and is a simpler pattern to follow
for future additions to stacktrace.c.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
