x86/unwind: Adjust last frame check for aligned function stacks

Somehow, CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n convinces gcc to change the
x86_64_start_kernel() prologue from:

  0000000000000129 <x86_64_start_kernel>:
   129: 55                    push   %rbp
   12a: 48 89 e5              mov    %rsp,%rbp

to:

  0000000000000124 <x86_64_start_kernel>:
   124: 4c 8d 54 24 08        lea    0x8(%rsp),%r10
   129: 48 83 e4 f0           and    $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
   12d: 41 ff 72 f8           pushq  -0x8(%r10)
   131: 55                    push   %rbp
   132: 48 89 e5              mov    %rsp,%rbp

This is an unusual pattern which aligns rsp (though in this case it's
already aligned) and saves the start_cpu() return address again on the
stack before storing the frame pointer.

The unwinder assumes the last stack frame header is at a certain offset,
but the above code breaks that assumption, resulting in the following
warning:

  WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffffff82e03f40 in swapper:0 has bad value           (null)

Fix it by checking for the last task stack frame at the aligned offset
in addition to the normal unaligned offset.
