S390: Remove backchain-based fallback and use generic backtrace.c.
After recent discussions: - "[PATCH] s390: Remove backchain-based fallback from backtrace" https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2020-02/msg00287.html - "Re: [PATCH 07/11] s390: Implement backtrace on top of <unwind-link.h>" https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2020-02/msg00637.html We've checked and decided to remove the backchain: We don't know of any environments without libgcc. Thus the backchain unwinder is not used. If somebody builds with -mbackchain and without fasynchronous-unwind-tables and has libgcc installed, then the libgcc unwinder is called but not the backchain-based fallback. This step allows to get rid of the s390x specific backtrace.c files at all. Furthermore the now used debug/backtrace.c version has some more advantages: - Free all resources if necessary. (libc_freeres_fn) - Remove NULL address above _start. - Check whether we make any progress while getting addresses.
