This fix is for a failure that occurred in the DWARF unwind perf test.
Stack unwinders may probe memory when looking for frames. Memory
sanitizer will poison and track uninitialized memory on the stack, and
on the heap if the value is copied to the heap. This can lead to false
memory sanitizer failures for the use of an uninitialized value. Avoid
this problem by removing the poison on the copied stack.
The full msan failure with track origins looks like:
