Subject: [PATCH] x86/stacktrace: Do not access user space memory unnecessarily

Put the boundary check before it accesses user space to prevent unnecessary
access which might crash the machine.

Especially, ftrace preemptirq/irq_disable event with user stack trace
option can trigger SEGV in pid 1 which leads to panic.

Reproducer:

  CONFIG_PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS=y
  # echo 1 > events/preemptirq/enable
  # echo userstacktrace > trace_options

Output:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
  CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 5.2.0-rc7+ #10
