oProfile: oops when profile_pc() returns ~0LU

Browse Source 
Instruction pointer returned by profile_pc() can be a random value.  This
break the assumption than we can safely set struct op_sample.eip field to a
magic value to signal to the per-cpu buffer reader side special event like
task switch ending up in a segfault in get_task_mm() when profile_pc()
return ~0UL.  Fixed by sanitizing the sampled eip and reject/log invalid
eip.

Problem reported by Sami Farin, patch tested by him.
