powerpc/oprofile: Disable pagefaults during user stack read



A page fault occurred during reading user stack in oprofile backtrace
would lead following calltrace:

performance_monitor_exception() is executed in a context with interrupt
disabled and preemption enabled. When there is a user space page fault
happened, do_page_fault() invoke in_atomic() to decide whether kernel
should handle such page fault. in_atomic() only check preempt_count.
So need call pagefault_disable() to disable preemption before reading
user stack.
