tile: don't call show_regs_print_info() with corrupt current
We use the validate_current() API to make sure that "current" seems plausible before using it. With the new show_regs_print_info() API, we want to check that current is OK before calling it, since otherwise we will end up in a recursive panic. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
