Make a frame pointer (make the x29 register points the
address of pt_regs->regs[29]) on __kretprobe_trampoline.

This frame pointer will be used by the stacktracer when it is
called from the kretprobe handlers. In this case, the stack
tracer will unwind stack to trampoline_probe_handler() and
find the next frame pointer in the stack frame of the
__kretprobe_trampoline().
