Your code change is "stop printing for non-kernel address", however I
would prefer to "stop stack unwinding for non-kernel address", so I

Yes, they are different.

If "stop stack unwinding for non-kernel address" won't truncate the backtrace, I would also prefer it.
Otherwise I would prefer another one.
 
think it is better to modify it within the for loop, this is where
stack unwinding happens.

for (fi = trailing; fi && count--; fi = get_prev_frame (fi))
      ...
      print_frame_info (fp_opts, fi, 1, LOCATION, 1, 0);

I made the following code change:

      for (fi = trailing; fi && count--; fi = get_prev_frame (fi))
        {
          QUIT;
          ...
+         CORE_ADDR pc = 0;
+          get_frame_pc_if_available (fi, &pc);
+         if (!is_kvaddr(pc)) {
+               fi = NULL;
+                break;
 +        }
          print_frame_info (fp_opts, fi, 1, LOCATION, 1, 0);

With the change:
