perf/core: Fix perf_sample_regs_user() mm check

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838467

[ Upstream commit 085ebfe9 ]

perf_sample_regs_user() uses 'current->mm' to test for the presence of
userspace, but this is insufficient, consider use_mm().

A better test is: '!(current->flags & PF_KTHREAD)', exec() clears
PF_KTHREAD after it sets the new ->mm but before it drops to userspace
for the first time.

Possibly obsoletes: bf05fc25 ("powerpc/perf: Fix oops when kthread execs user process")
