x86/stacktrace: Do not fail for ORC with regs on stack
save_stack_trace_reliable now returns "non reliable" when there are kernel pt_regs on stack. This means an interrupt or exception happened somewhere down the route. It is a problem for the frame pointer unwinder, because the frame might not have been set up yet when the irq happened, so the unwinder might fail to unwind from the interrupted function. With ORC, this is not a problem, as ORC has out-of-band data. We can find ORC data even for the IP in the interrupted function and always unwind one level up reliably. So lift the check to apply only when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y is enabled.
