x86_64: Trace RBP chain on kernel stack only if unwind() fails
- unwind() logic attempts to collect all the callee-saved registers including
RBP. So, RBP chain tracing is necessary only if this unwind() logic doesn't
succeed.
- Also, verify whether a given task is not active. This is because for active
tasks, RBP saved on the corresponding kernel stacks could be modified.
