x86/dumpstack/ftrace: Don't print unreliable addresses in 
print_context_stack_bp()

When function graph tracing is enabled, print_context_stack_bp() can
report return_to_handler() as an unreliable address, which is confusing
and misleading: return_to_handler() is really only useful as a hint for
debugging, whereas print_context_stack_bp() users only care about the
actual 'reliable' call path.
