Frederic Weisbecker ab285f2b52 perf: Fix unsafe frame rewinding with hot regs fetching
When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:

	perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
        schedule+0x6b5/0x860
        retint_careful+0xd/0x21

Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.

Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
frame pointer.

This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
first caller.
