[PATCH] stacktrace: add saved stack traces to backtrace self-test

[Vegard Nossum]

Subject: [PATCH] stacktrace: add saved stack traces to backtrace self-test

This patch adds saved stack-traces to the backtrace suite of self-tests.

Note that we don't unconditionally enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE because not
all architectures may have it.
