[POWERPC] Harden validate_sp against stack corruption
If something has overflowed or corrupted the stack and causes an oops, and we try to print a stack trace, that will call validate_sp, which can itself cause an oops if the cpu field of the thread_info struct at the bottom of the stack has been corrupted (if CONFIG_IRQSTACKS is set). This makes debugging harder. To avoid the second oops, this adds a check to make sure that the cpu number is reasonable before using it to check whether the stack is on the softirq or hardirq stack.
