I'm not sure I understand the involvement of objtool in this. IIUC objtool just provides a way to check that the code manages stack frames consistently. It gives you more confidence in how the code manages the frame.
If the semantics of HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE is "are you able to tell whether that stacktrace is good or corrupted?", the code looks mostly fine to me.

unwind_frame is not static so we should take care of other callers.
I can see one in arch/arm64/kernel/time.c, profile_pc which checks "unwind_frame(...) < 0" to exit a loop, but now you have made 1 a valid stop condition.
I think the other callers are just checking "unwind_frame(...) != 0" as stop condition so those should be fine.
Perhaps adding a little comment on unwind_frame "0 -> Stack trace goes on, 1 -> reached end of stack trace, 2 -> stack trace looks" would be nice.
