Commit 75d4d29549e5 ("sh: remove CONFIG_SET_FS support") converted the
callers' set_fs(KERNEL_DS) sections, but missed copy_from_user() in
handle_delayslot() which relied on the caller's address limit. This also
broke delay slot instruction fetching through handle_trapped_io().
Since the removal of set_fs(), access_ok() rejects kernel addresses, so
the fetch always fails for kernel code and the kernel dies with:
delay-slot-insn faulting in handle_unaligned_delayslot: 0000 [#1]
The initial instruction fetch in do_address_error() already uses
copy_from_kernel_nofault() for kernel mode. So choose the matching
instruction-fetch accessor from user_mode(regs) and fetch the
instruction.

The issue was hit while using PPP with VJ header compression, where gcc
placed an unaligned checksum store in slhc_compress() into the delay
slot, which panicked the system e.g. using ssh over this line.
