Original code did:

     if (p->thread.sp < stack || p->thread.sp >= stack+THREAD_SIZE)
           return 0;
     fp = *(u64 *)(p->thread.sp);

p->thread.sp can change concurrently.
So we could check that p->thread.sp is within stack bounds, but then
dereference another value (which is already outside of bounds).

That's what my patch does.
