Add support for unwinding using the dwarf information in compat
mode. Using the correct user stack pointer allows perf to record
the frames correctly in the native and compat modes.

Note that although the dwarf frame unwinding works ok using
libunwind in native mode (on ARMv7 & ARMv8), some changes are
required to the libunwind code for the compat mode. Those changes
are posted separately on the libunwind mailing list.

Tested on ARMv8 platform with v8 and compat v7 binaries, the latter
are statically built.

I guess it makes sense to include this with your earlier series adding
support for compat backtracing?

In your previous series, compat backtracing is actually split out into a
separate function (compat_user_backtrace), so it would be more consistent to
have a compat_user_stack_pointer macro, rather than add this check here.
