Sampled Data Address Register (SDAR) is a 64-bit register that contains the effective address of 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.
