sparc64: Ensure perf can access user stacks

When an interrupt (such as a perf counter interrupt) is delivered while executing in user space, the trap entry code puts ASI_AIUS in %asi so that copy_from_user() and copy_to_user() will access the correct memory. But if a perf counter interrupt is delivered while the cpu is already executing in kernel space, then the trap entry code will put ASI_P in %asi, and this will prevent copy_from_user() from reading any useful stack data in either of the perf_callchain_user_X functions, and thus no user callgraph data will be collected for this sample period. An additional problem is that a fault is guaranteed to occur, and though it will be silently covered up, it wastes time and could perturb state. In perf_callchain_user(), we ensure that %asi contains ASI_AIUS because we know for a fact that the subsequent calls to copy_from_user() are intended to read the user's stack.
