[GIT PULL] tracing: Fix user stack trace "??" output

From: Steven Rostedt

Linus,

Eiichi Tsukata found a small bug from the fixup of the stack code

Removing ULONG_MAX as the marker for the user stack trace end
made the tracing code not know where the end is. The end is now
marked with a zero (NULL) pointer. Eiichi fixed this in the tracing
code.

tracing: Fix user stack trace "??" output

Commit c5c27a0a5838 ("x86/stacktrace: Remove the pointless ULONG_MAX
marker") removes ULONG_MAX marker from user stack trace entries but
trace_user_stack_print() still uses the marker and it outputs unnecessary
"??".

For example:

less-1911 [001] d..2 34.758944: <user stack trace>
=> <00007f16f2295910>
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??

The user stack trace code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if
the trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate
the print loop if a zero entry is detected.
