alpha: provide ftrace return address support for lockdep

Browse source

Lockdep uses ftrace_return_address() to report useful call sites for
lock acquisition and IRQ-state tracking diagnostics. Provide the Alpha
architecture hook using the compiler return-address builtin when frame
pointers are available.

Return zero when frame pointers are disabled, matching the existing
fallback behavior of architectures that cannot provide a reliable return
address.

This is a preparatory change for enabling lockdep support on Alpha.
