sparc64: Fix race in signal instruction flushing.

If another cpu does a very wide munmap() on the signal frame area,
it can tear down the page table hierarchy from underneath us.

Borrow an idea from the 64-bit fault path's get_user_insn(), and
disable cross call interrupts during the page table traversal
to lock them in place while we operate.
