powerpc: Fix bad stack check in exception entry
In EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON() we check to see if the stack pointer (r1)
is valid when coming from the kernel. If it's not valid, we die but
with a nice oops message.
Currently we allocate a stack frame (subtract INT_FRAME_SIZE) before we
check to see if the stack pointer is negative. Unfortunately, this
won't detect a bad stack where r1 is less than INT_FRAME_SIZE.
This patch fixes the check to compare the modified r1 with
-INT_FRAME_SIZE. With this, bad kernel stack pointers (including NULL
pointers) are correctly detected again.
Kudos to Paulus for finding this.
