tracing: Allow arch-specific stack tracer
A stack frame may be used in a different way depending on cpu architecture. Thus it is not always appropriate to slurp the stack contents, as current check_stack() does, in order to calcurate a stack index (height) at a given function call. At least not on arm64. In addition, there is a possibility that we will mistakenly detect a stale stack frame which has not been overwritten. This patch makes check_stack() a weak function so as to later implement arch-specific version.
