[Crash-utility] [PATCH v6 07/14] Stop stack unwinding at non-kernel address

The stack unwinding is for kernel addresses only. If non-kernel address encountered, it is usually a user space address, or non-address value like a function call parameter. So stopping stack unwinding at non-kernel address will decrease the invalid unwind results.
