From: Mike Pall <mike>

Reported by Alex Orlenko.

(cherry picked from commit b4b2dce9fc3ffaaaede39b36d06415311e2aa516)

The `pcall()` assembler preambule modifies `RC` (`x28`) (N args * 8)
during the check of the amount of the given arguments. So, this wrong
value using in the `fff_fallback` routine leading to a crash on the
error throwing, because the Lua stack is filled incorrect and can't be
unwound.

This patch adds the additional comparison before taking the fallback
branch and modifies `RC` only after this branch.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem
