We removed the terminal frame records in commit:

   6106e1112cc69a36 ("arm64: remove EL0 exception frame record")

... on the assumption that as we no longer used them to find the pt_regs
at exception boundaries, they were no longer necessary.

However, Leo reports that as an unintended side-effect, this causes
traces which cross secondary_start_kernel to terminate one entry too
late, with a spurious "0" entry.

There are a few ways we could sovle this, but as we're planning to use
terminal records for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, let's revert the logic change
for now, keeping the update comments and accounting for the changes in
commit:

  3c02600144bdb0a1 ("arm64: stacktrace: Report when we reach the end of the stack")

This is effectively a partial revert of commit:

  6106e1112cc69a36 ("arm64: remove EL0 exception frame record")
