read_user_stack_slow that walks user address translation by hand is
only required on hash, because a hash fault can not be serviced from
"NMI" context (to avoid re-entering the hash code) so the user stack
can be mapped into Linux page tables but not accessible by the CPU.
Radix MMU mode does not have this restriction. A page fault failure
would indicate the page is not accessible via get_user_pages either,
so avoid this on radix.
