Subject: [PATCH 5.16 021/200] bpf: Guard against accessing NULL pt_regs in bpf_get_task_stack()

From: Naveen N. Rao <naveen.n.rao@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit b992f01e66150fc5e90be4a96f5eb8e634c8249e upstream.

task_pt_regs() can return NULL on powerpc for kernel threads. This is
then used in __bpf_get_stack() to check for user mode, resulting in a
kernel oops. Guard against this by checking return value of
task_pt_regs() before trying to obtain the call chain.

Fixes: fa28dcb82a38f8 ("bpf: Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack()")
