[AVR32] show_trace: Only walk valid stack addresses

Terminate the frame pointer walk if (a) the address is outside the
task's kernel stack or (b) if the frame pointer isn't monotonically
increasing. Without this fix, show_trace() may enter an infinite
loop, walking through random data anywhere in memory.

Since any address within the kernel stack is guaranteed to be valid,
we may eliminate the __get_user() calls as well.
