powerpc/stacktrace: Fix arch_stack_walk_reliable()
The changes to copy_thread() made in commit eed7c420aac7 ("powerpc: copy_thread differentiate kthreads and user mode threads") inadvertently broke arch_stack_walk_reliable() because it has knowledge of the stack layout. Fix it by changing the condition to match the new logic in copy_thread(). The changes make the comments about the stack layout incorrect, rather than rephrasing them just refer the reader to copy_thread(). Also the comment about the stack backchain is no longer true, since commit edbd0387f324 ("powerpc: copy_thread add a back chain to the switch stack frame"), so remove that as well.
