James Hogan 1e77863a51 MIPS: show_stack: Fix stack trace with EVA 
The show_stack() function deals exclusively with kernel contexts, but if
it gets called in user context with EVA enabled, show_stacktrace() will
attempt to access the stack using EVA accesses, which will either read
other user mapped data, or more likely cause an exception which will be
handled by __get_user().

This is easily reproduced using SysRq t to show all task states, which
results in the following stack dump output:

 Stack : (Bad stack address)

Fix by setting the current user access mode to kernel around the call to
show_stacktrace(). This causes __get_user() to use normal loads to read
the kernel stack.

Now we get the correct output, like this:

 Stack : 00000000 80168960 00000000 004a0000 00000000 00000000 8060016c 1f3abd0c
