x86/unwind/orc: Detect the end of the stack



The existing UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY annotations happen to be good indicators
of where entry code calls into C code for the first time.  So also use
them to mark the end of the stack for the ORC unwinder.

Use that information to set unwind->error if the ORC unwinder doesn't
unwind all the way to the end.  This will be needed for enabling
HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE for the ORC unwinder so we can use it with the
livepatch consistency model.

Thanks to Jiri Slaby for teaching the ORCs about the unwind hints.
