MIPS: Avoid accidental raw backtrace
[ Upstream commit 85423636 ] Since commit 81a76d71 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with usermode") show_backtrace() invokes the raw backtracer when cp0_status & ST0_KSU indicates user mode to fix issues on EVA kernels where user and kernel address spaces overlap. However this is used by show_stack() which creates its own pt_regs on the stack and leaves cp0_status uninitialised in most of the code paths. This results in the non deterministic use of the raw back tracer depending on the previous stack content. show_stack() deals exclusively with kernel mode stacks anyway, so explicitly initialise regs.cp0_status to KSU_KERNEL (i.e. 0) to ensure we get a useful backtrace.
