Hi, @MaskRay
Unnecessary check in forced unwind is removed. This patch is to align with libgcc's behavior in stack unwinding process on CET enabled platform. libgcc added check in stacking unwinding phase2, we need to go through the stacks to count how many stack frames to skip when CET is enabled and we can enhance security by comparing return addr in normal stack against CET shadow stack at the same time. If return addr in the 2 stacks don't match, it means the normal stack has been corrupted by someone and we can report fatal error in advance.
Thanks very much.
