Currently, profile_pc() in ARM64 code walks the stack using
start_backtrace() and unwind_frame(). Make it use arch_stack_walk()
instead. This makes maintenance easier.

This can go -- the first call to profile_pc_cb() will use regs->pc.
Agreed.
With that gone, and the include updates to use <linux/stacktrace.h>:

I will make the two changes.
