ftrace: Add ftrace_graph_ret_addr() stack unwinding helpers
When function graph tracing is enabled for a function, ftrace modifies the stack by replacing the original return address with the address of a hook function (return_to_handler). Stack unwinders need a way to get the original return address. Add an arch-independent helper function for that named ftrace_graph_ret_addr(). This adds two variations of the function: one depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, and the other relies on an index state variable. The former is recommended because, in some cases, the latter can cause problems when the unwinder skips stack frames. It can get out of sync with the ret_stack index and wrong addresses can be reported for the stack trace. Once all arches have been ported to use HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, we can get rid of the distinction.
