Lockdep uses ftrace_return_address() to report useful call sites for lock acquisition and IRQ-state tracking diagnostics. Provide the Alpha architecture hook using the compiler return-address builtin when frame pointers are available. Return zero when frame pointers are disabled, matching the existing fallback behavior of architectures that cannot provide a reliable return address. This is a preparatory change for enabling lockdep support on Alpha.
