LoongArch: Don't crash in stack_top() for tasks without vDSO
Not all tasks have a vDSO mapped, for example kthreads never do. If such
a task ever ends up calling stack_top(), it will derefence the NULL vdso
pointer and crash.
This can for example happen when using kunit:
[<9000000000203874>] stack_top+0x58/0xa8
[<90000000002956cc>] arch_pick_mmap_layout+0x164/0x220
