riscv: stacktrace: fixed walk_stackframe()

If the load access fault occures in a leaf function (with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y), when wrong stack trace will be displayed:

[<ffffffff804853c2>] regmap_mmio_read32le+0xe/0x1c
---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

Registers dump:
    ra     0xffffffff80485758 <regmap_mmio_read+36>
    sp     0xffffffc80200b9a0
    fp     0xffffffc80200b9b0
    pc     0xffffffff804853ba <regmap_mmio_read32le+6>

Stack dump:
    0xffffffc80200b9a0:  0xffffffc80200b9e0  0xffffffc80200b9e0
    0xffffffc80200b9b0:  0xffffffff8116d7e8  0x0000000000000100
    0xffffffc80200b9c0:  0xffffffd8055b9400  0xffffffd8055b9400
    0xffffffc80200b9d0:  0xffffffc80200b9f0  0xffffffff8047c526
    0xffffffc80200b9e0:  0xffffffc80200ba30  0xffffffff8047fe9a

The assembler dump of the function preambula:
    add     sp,sp,-16
    sd      s0,8(sp)
    add     s0,sp,16

In the fist stack frame, where ra is not stored on the stack we can
observe:

        0(sp)                  8(sp)
        .---------------------------------------------.
    sp->|       frame->fp      | frame->ra (saved fp) |
        |---------------------------------------------|
    fp->|         ....         |         ....         |
        |---------------------------------------------|
        |                      |                      |

and in the code check is performed:
	if (regs && (regs->epc == pc) && (frame->fp & 0x7))

I see no reason to check frame->fp value at all, because it is can be
uninitialized value on the stack. A better way is to check frame->ra to
be an address on the stack. After the stacktrace shows as expect:

[<ffffffff804853c2>] regmap_mmio_read32le+0xe/0x1c
[<ffffffff80485758>] regmap_mmio_read+0x24/0x52
[<ffffffff8047c526>] _regmap_bus_reg_read+0x1a/0x22
[<ffffffff8047fe9a>] _regmap_read+0x5c/0xea
[<ffffffff80480376>] _regmap_update_bits+0x76/0xc0
...
---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
As pointed by Samuel Holland it is incorrect to remove check of the stackframe
entirely.

Changes since v2 [2]:
 - Add accidentally forgotten curly brace

Changes since v1 [1]:
 - Instead of just dropping frame->fp check, replace it with validation of
   frame->ra, which should be a stack address.
 - Move frame pointer validation into the separate function.
