ARM: 6468/1: backtrace: fix calculation of thread stack base

Browse source 
When unwinding stack frames we must take care not to unwind
areas of memory that lie outside of the known extent of the stack.

This patch fixes an incorrect calculation of the stack base where
THREAD_SIZE is added to the stack pointer after it has already
been aligned to this value. Since the ALIGN macro performs this
addition internally, we end up overshooting the base by 8k.
