perf/x86: Allow multiple stacks
Without this patch, applications with two different stack regions (eg: native stack vs JIT stack) get truncated callchains even when RBP chaining is present. GDB shows proper stack traces and the frame pointer chaining is intact. This patch disables the (fp < RSP) check, hoping that other checks in the code save the day for us. In our limited testing, this didn't seem to break anything. In the long term, we could potentially have userspace advise the kernel on the range of valid stack addresses, so we don't spend a lot of time unwinding from bogus addresses.
