Qing Zhang 49232773d8 LoongArch: Add guess unwinder support
Name "guess unwinder" comes from x86, it scans the stack and reports
every kernel text address it finds.

Unwinders can be used by dump_stack() and other stacktrace functions.

Three stages when we do unwind,
  1) unwind_start(), the prapare of unwinding, fill unwind_state.
  2) unwind_done(), judge whether the unwind process is finished or not.
  3) unwind_next_frame(), unwind the next frame.

Add get_stack_info() to get stack info. At present we have irq stack and
task stack. The next_sp is the key info between two types of stacks.

Dividing unwinder helps to add new unwinders in the future.

config UNWINDER_GUESS
bool "Guess unwinder"
help
This option enables the "guess" unwinder for unwinding kernel stack
traces. It scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it
finds. Some of the addresses it reports may be incorrect.
While this option often produces false positives, it can still be
useful in many cases.
