x86/unwind/fp: Fix FP unwinding in ret_from_fork



There have been some reports of "bad bp value" warnings printed by the
frame pointer unwinder:

  WARNING: kernel stack regs at 000000005bac7112 in sh:1014 has bad 'bp' value 0000000000000000

This warning happens when unwinding from an interrupt in
ret_from_fork(). If entry code gets interrupted, the state of the
frame pointer (rbp) may be undefined, which can confuse the unwinder,
resulting in warnings like the above.

There's an in_entry_code() check which normally silences such
warnings for entry code. But in this case, ret_from_fork() is getting
interrupted. It recently got moved out of .entry.text, so the
in_entry_code() check no longer works.

It could be moved back into .entry.text, but that would break the
noinstr validation because of the call to schedule_tail().

Instead, initialize each new task's RBP to point to the task's entry
regs via an encoded frame pointer.  That will allow the unwinder to
reach the end of the stack gracefully.
