The dwarf unwinder ties in to an early initcall, but it's possible that
return_address() calls will be made prior to that. This implements some
additional error handling in to the dwarf unwinder as well as an exit
path in the return_address() case to bail out if the unwinder hasn't come
up yet.

This fixes a NULL pointer deref in early boot when mempool_alloc() blows
up on the not-yet-ready mempool via dwarf_unwind_stack().
