parisc: fix kernel crash (protection id trap) when compiling ruby1.9

It really should never happen in the kernel, since the kernel can guarantee it won't get the access rights failure (highest privilege level, and can set %sr and %protid to whatever it wants.) It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27 here. On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue... Argh. (btw, I've instrumented my do_sys_poll with a pile of assertions that %cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're getting corrupted is deterministic, though, I would guess that it won't be.)
