On x86 the struct pt_regs * grabbed by task_pt_regs() points to an
offset of task->stack. The pt_regs are later dereferenced in
__bpf_get_stack (e.g. by user_mode() check). This can cause a fault if
the task in question exits while bpf_get_task_stack is executing, as
warned by task_stack_page's comment:

* When accessing the stack of a non-current task that might exit, use
* try_get_task_stack() instead.  task_stack_page will return a pointer
* that could get freed out from under you.

Taking the comment's advice and using try_get_task_stack() and
put_task_stack() to hold task->stack refcount, or bail early if it's
already 0. Incrementing stack_refcount will ensure the task's stack
sticks around while we're using its data.

I noticed this bug while testing a bpf task iter similar to
bpf_iter_task_stack in selftests, except mine grabbed user stack, and
getting intermittent crashes, which resulted in dumps like:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000003fe0
  \#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  \#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
