This patch is a part of a series that extends arm64 kernel ABI to allow to pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than 0x00) as syscall arguments.
get_vaddr_frames uses provided user pointers for vma lookups, which can only by done with untagged pointers. Instead of locating and changing all callers of this function, perform untagging in it.

Is this some buffer that the user may have malloc'ed? I got lost when trying to track down the provenience of this buffer.
