BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, ifconfig/2420
lock: terminate_lock.2+0x0/0x1c, .magic:
dead4ead, .owner: ifconfig/2420, .owner_cpu: 0
While creating the stack trace, the unwinder uses the stack pointer to guess
the previous frame to read the previous stack pointer from memory. The crash
happens, because the unwinder tries to read from unaligned memory and as such
triggers the unalignment trap handler which then leads to the spinlock
recursion and finally to a deadlock.
Fix it by checking the alignment before accessing the memory.
