ftrace: Add return address pointer to ftrace_ret_stack
Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack. Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.
Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task. So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).
