perf/core: Fix perf_sample_regs_user() mm check
[ Upstream commit 085ebfe937d7a7a5df1729f35a12d6d655fea68c ]
perf_sample_regs_user() uses 'current->mm' to test for the presence of
userspace, but this is insufficient, consider use_mm().
A better test is: '!(current->flags & PF_KTHREAD)', exec() clears
PF_KTHREAD after it sets the new ->mm but before it drops to userspace
for the first time.
Possibly obsoletes: bf05fc25f268 ("powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process")
