arm64: reduce stack use in irq_handler
The code for switching to irq_stack stores three pieces of information on the stack, fp+lr, as a fake stack frame (that lets us walk back onto the interrupted tasks stack frame), and the address of the struct pt_regs that contains the register values from kernel entry. (which dump_backtrace() will print in any stack trace). To reduce this, we store fp, and the pointer to the struct pt_regs. unwind_frame() can recognise this as the irq_stack dummy frame, (as it only appears at the top of the irq_stack), and use the struct pt_regs values to find the missing interrupted link-register.
