perf: Stop stack frame walking off kernel addresses boundaries

While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be
considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address.

In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an
x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel
stacktrace.

Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid
kernel address.

This fixes a hard lockup in x86-32.
