powerpc: Check end of stack canary at oops time
Add a check for the stack canary when we oops, similar to x86. This should make
it clear that we overran our stack:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x24652f63700ac689
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000063d24
Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted
