Adjust the check to also ensure that the register state from before the exception is actually running in kernel mode, i.e. !user_mode(regs). I don't believe any harm can come of this problem, since the PC is only output, the stack pointer is checked to ensure it resides within the task's stack page before it is dereferenced in search of the return address, and the return address register is similarly only output (if the PC is in a leaf function or the beginning of a non-leaf function). However unwind_stack() is only meant for unwinding kernel code, so to be correct the unwind should stop there.
