Please add a newline before the new block.

Also, something which you have done in comment blocks in this patch as
well as future patches (so I won't mention them again) is use the
opening comment mark /** , which is meant for kernel-doc comments
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html).
However, this block, and many if not most of the others don't seem to
be conformant (scripts/kernel-doc -v -none
arch/arm64/include/asm/stacktrace/common.h).

I think the easiest thing to do is to format them as a normal block: /*.

A call to unwind_next_common could fail having updated state->prev_fp
as well as state->stacks_done. I think that it might be better to
rework it so that there aren't any side effects should a call fail.
