perf/core: Force USER_DS when recording user stack data

Perf can record user stack data in response to a synchronous request, such
as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we
end up reading user stack data using __copy_from_user_inatomic() under
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). I think this conflicts with the intention of using
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). And it is explicitly forbidden by hardware on ARM64
when both CONFIG_ARM64_UAO and CONFIG_ARM64_PAN are used.

So fix this by forcing USER_DS when recording user stack data.
