x86/unwind: Silence entry-related warnings



A few people have reported unwinder warnings like the following:

  WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffc90000fe7ff0 in rsync:1157 has bad value           (null)
  unwind stack type:0 next_sp:          (null) mask:2 graph_idx:0

  ffffc90000fe7ff8: ffffffffb7b74b9a (entry_SYSCALL_64_after_swapgs+0x17/0x4f)

This warning can happen when unwinding a code path where an interrupt
occurred in x86 entry code before it set up the first stack frame.
Silently ignore any warnings for this case.
