Ard Biesheuvel 6845d64d51 ARM: 9184/1: return_address: disable again for CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=y
Commit 41918ec82e ("ARM: ftrace: enable the graph tracer with the EABI
unwinder") removed the dummy version of return_address() that was
provided for the CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=y case, on the assumption that the
removal of the kernel_text_address() call from unwind_frame() in the
preceding patch made it safe to do so.

However, this turns out not to be the case: Corentin reports warnings
about suspicious RCU usage and other strange behavior that seems to
originate in the stack unwinding that occurs in return_address().

Given that the function graph tracer (which is what these changes were
enabling for CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=y builds) does not appear to care about
this distinction, let's revert return_address() to the old state.
