Viktor Malik e9bbfb4bfa powerpc, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain
It may happen that mm is already released, which leads to kernel panic.
This adds the NULL check for current->mm, similarly to
commit 20afc60f89 ("x86, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain").

I was getting this panic when running a profiling BPF program
(profile.py from bcc-tools):

    [26215.051935] Kernel attempted to read user page (588) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

    [...]

In addition, move storing the top-level stack entry to generic
perf_callchain_user to make sure the top-evel entry is always captured,
even if current->mm is NULL.
