[PATCH] Harden validate_sp against stack corruption

[Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>]

If something has overflowed or corrupted the stack and causes an oops,
and we try to print a stack trace, that will call validate_sp, which
can itself cause an oops if the cpu field of the thread_info struct at
the bottom of the stack has been corrupted (if CONFIG_IRQSTACKS is
set).  This makes debugging harder.

To avoid the second oops, this adds a check to make sure that the cpu
number is reasonable before using it to check whether the stack is on
the softirq or hardirq stack.
