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.
