x86/stacktrace: Clarify the reliable success paths

Make clear which path is for user tasks and for kthreads and idle
tasks. This will allow easier plug-in of the ORC unwinder in the next
patches.

Note that we added a check for unwind error to the top of the loop, so
that an error is returned also for user tasks (the 'goto success' would
skip the check after the loop otherwise).
