s390/unwind: filter out unreliable bogus %r14
Currently unwinder unconditionally returns %r14 from the first frame pointed by %r15 from pt_regs. A task could be interrupted when a function already allocated this frame (if it needs it) for its callees or to store local variables. In that case this frame would contain random values from stack or values stored there by a callee. As we are only interested in %r14 to get potential return address, skip bogus return addresses which doesn't belong to kernel text. This helps to avoid duplicating filtering logic in unwider users, most of which use unwind_get_return_address() and would choke on bogus 0 address returned by it otherwise.
