[Crash-utility] Problem in bt for ARM64

Hi Takahiro,

Welcome back!  It's great to get you back in the fold again...

I just ran a quick test of your patch on a set of sample dumpfiles,
and only found one issue.  It was on a 4.2 QEMU dump where all of the
active tasks were running in user-space, and all of their "bt" commands 
fail immediately with a "zero-size" allocation message.  As it turns out,
that was due to this GETBUF() call in arm64_in_kdump_text_on_irq_stack():

static int
arm64_in_kdump_text_on_irq_stack(struct bt_info *bt)
{
        int cpu;
        ulong stackbase;
        char *stackbuf;
        ulong *ptr, *start, *base;
        struct machine_specific *ms;

        if ((machdep->flags & (IRQ_STACKS|KDUMP_ENABLED)) != (IRQ_STACKS|KDUMP_ENABLED))
                return FALSE;

        ms = machdep->machspec;
        cpu = bt->tc->processor;
        stackbase = ms->irq_stacks[cpu];
        stackbuf = GETBUF(ms->irq_stack_size);  <===
...

ms->irq_stack_size is zero because that kernel version does not have IRQ stacks.
As it turns out, the problem is that your reworked arm64_irq_stack_init() is setting
the IRQ_STACKS flag unconditionally at the bottom of the function.  Moving the
flag setting up into the two if-else segments fixes it.

I'll check out the patches in detail next week, but this looks good.

Thanks,
  Dave
