Here's my latest version of the patch. I also added a fix that made
entries off from the real number of entries. That was to stop the loop
on ULONG_MAX in stack_dump_trace[i], otherwise if for some reason
nr_entries is one off and points to ULONG_MAX, and there is a -1 in the
stack, the trace will include it in the count. The output of the stack
tests against both nr_entries and ULONG_MAX and will stop with either
case, making the dump and the count different.

Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Clean up stack tracing and fix fentry updates
Akashi Takahiro was porting the stack tracer to arm64 and found some
issues with it. One was that it repeats the top function, due to the
stack frame added by the mcount caller and added by itself. This
was added when fentry came in, and before fentry created its own stack
frame. But x86's fentry now creates its own stack frame, and there's
no need to insert the function again.
This also cleans up the code a bit, where it doesn't need to do something
special for fentry, and doesn't include insertion of a duplicate
entry for the called function being traced.
