tracing: Fix recursive user stack trace
The user stack trace can fault when examining the trace. Which would call the do_page_fault handler, which would trace again, which would do the user stack trace, which would fault and call do_page_fault again ... Thus this is causing a recursive bug. We need to have a recursion detector here.
