If we try to stack trace very early during boot, either due to a WARN/BUG or manual dump_stack(), we will oops in valid_emergency_stack() when we try to dereference the paca_ptrs array.
The fix is simple, we just return false if paca_ptrs isn't allocated yet. The stack pointer definitely isn't part of any emergency stack because we haven't allocated any yet.
