It seems like other architectures, namely x86 and arm64
at least, include the running function as top entry when saving
stack trace with save_stack_trace_regs().
Functionnalities like KFENCE expect it.
Do the same on powerpc, it allows KFENCE to properly identify the faulting
function as depicted below. Before the patch KFENCE was identifying
finish_task_switch.isra as the faulting function.
