Under PAN emulation when dumping backtraces from things like the
LKDTM EXEC_USERSPACE test[1], a double fault (which would hang a CPU)
would happen because of dump_instr() attempting to read a userspace
address. Make sure copy_from_kernel_nofault() does not attempt this
any more.

This appears to fix the original issue:

(though so did your earlier patch) so:

Russell, do you mind if I carry in my tree the 3 ARM patches I sent?
They're mostly pretty trivial, and they've been in "Incoming"[1] for 2
weeks but haven't shown up in -next yet. I'd really like them to get
some soak time, and for them to reach the v6.9 merge window in time.

Please let me know what you think. :) Thanks!

They can't show up in -next at the moment because the machine that hosts
my git tree is being moved between data centres. This was originally
flagged as a same-day (Tuesday) move, then next day, then it'll be back
online on Saturday. That's the last update that we've had.

As I don't believe my GPG key has the necessary signatures on, I don't
believe I can get a kernel.org account. I'm not even sure whether my
gpg key is even correct for that - and at the moment I just glaze over
reading the kernel.org gpg documentation.

I'll also point out that over the last two weeks, the first week I was
in Cambridge attending a conference at Arm Ltd, and then I went down
with full blown flu shortly there-after.
