Currently, get_wchan() in ARM64 code walks the stack using start_backtrace()
and unwind_frame(). Make it use arch_stack_walk() instead. This makes
maintenance easier.
This overlaps with some very similar updates that Peter Zijlstra is
working on which addresses some existing problems with wchan:

It probably makes sense for you to coordinate with Peter here, some of
that series is already merged up to his patch 6 which looks very
similar to what you've got here. In that thread you'll see that Mark
Rutland spotted an issue with the handling of __switch_to() on arm64
which probably also applies to your change.
