Sampled Data Address Register (SDAR) is a 64-bit

the storage operand of an instruction that was
being executed, possibly out-of-order, at or around
the time that the Performance Monitor alert occurred.

In certain scenario SDAR happen to contain the kernel
address even for userspace only sampling. Add checks
to prevent it.
