The unwinder should check if the return PC falls in any function that
is considered unreliable from an unwinding perspective. If it does,
mark the stack trace unreliable.
[snip]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you not need to move the final frame
check to before the unwinder_is_unreliable() call?

Userland threads which have ret_from_fork as the last entry on the
stack will always be marked unreliable as they will always have a
SYM_CODE entry on their stack (the ret_from_fork).

Also given that this means the last frame has been reached and as such
there's no more unwinding to do, I don't think we care if the last pc
is a code address.
