There is a race between the assignment of `table->data` and write value
to the pointer of `table->data` in the __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax().
Fix this by duplicating the `table`, and only update the duplicate of
it.

Fixes: 964c9dff0091 ("stackleak: Allow runtime disabling of kernel stack 
erasing")
