David Ahern c17af4dd96 sparc: perf: Disable pagefaults while walking userspace stacks
Page faults generated walking userspace stacks can call schedule to switch
out the task. When collecting callchains for scheduler tracepoints this
causes a deadlock as the tracepoints can be hit with the runqueue lock held:
