[PATCH] s390: show_task oops



The show_task function walks the kernel stack backchain of processes assuming
that the processes are not running.  Since this assumption is not correct
walking the backchain can lead to an addressing exception and therefore to a
kernel hang.  So prevent the kernel hang (you still get incorrect results)
verity that all read accesses are within the bounds of the kernel stack before
performing them.
