Not really "fixed", but with the proper kernel patch, see comment #5, this
should just work. Added a testcase to check the system is behaving properly.

    Add testcase for PR14107 Bad user unwinding from kernel fatal signal
handler

    This is really a kernel bug, see bug report, when the CFI for the assembly
    code is missing we cannot properly recover the register state for the user
    process and might give a bad/missing user backtrace.
