commit 328d2168ca524d501fc4b133d6be076142bd305c upstream.

Currently stack unwinder is a while(1) loop which relies on the dwarf
unwinder to signal termination, which in turn relies on dwarf info to do
so. This in theory could cause an infinite loop if the dwarf info was
somehow messed up or the register contents were etc.

This fix thus detects the excessive looping and breaks the loop.
