powerpc: Hide empty pt_regs at base of the stack

[ Upstream commit d45c4b4 ]

A thread started via eg. user_mode_thread() runs in the kernel to begin
with and then may later return to userspace. While it's running in the
kernel it has a pt_regs at the base of its kernel stack, but that
pt_regs is all zeroes.

If the thread oopses in that state, it leads to an ugly stack trace with
a big block of zero GPRs, as reported by Joel:

The all-zero pt_regs looks ugly and conveys no useful information, other
than its presence. So detect that case and just show the presence of the
frame by printing the interrupt marker, eg:

To avoid ever suppressing a valid pt_regs make sure the pt_regs has a
zero MSR and TRAP value, and is located at the very base of the stack.
