x86/stacktrace: Fix reliable check for empty user task stacks
If a user task's stack is empty, or if it only has user regs, ORC reports it as a reliable empty stack. But arch_stack_walk_reliable() incorrectly treats it as unreliable. That happens because the only success path for user tasks is inside the loop, which only iterates on non-empty stacks. Generally, a user task must end in a user regs frame, but an empty stack is an exception to that rule. Thanks to commit 71c9582 ("x86/unwind/orc: Fix error handling in __unwind_start()"), unwind_start() now sets state->error appropriately. So now for both ORC and FP unwinders, unwind_done() and !unwind_error() always means the end of the stack was successfully reached. So the success path for kthreads is no longer needed -- it can also be used for empty user tasks.
