If the link register was zeroed out, do not attempt to use it for
address calculations for which there are currently no fixup handlers,
which can lead to a panic during unwind. Since panicking triggers
another unwind, this can lead to an infinite loop. If this occurs
during start_kernel(), this can prevent a kernel from booting.
commit 59b6359dd92d ("ARM: 8702/1: head-common.S: Clear lr before jumping to
start_kernel()")
intentionally zeros out the link register in __mmap_switched which tail
calls into start kernel. Test for this condition so that we can stop
unwinding when initiated within start_kernel() correctly.
