um: allocate a guard page to helper threads
We've been running into stack overflows in helper threads corrupting memory (e.g. because somebody put printf() or os_info() there), so to avoid those causing hard-to-debug issues later on, allocate a guard page for helper thread stacks and mark it read-only. Unfortunately, the crash dump at that point is useless as the stack tracer will try to backtrace the *kernel* thread, not the helper thread, but at least we don't survive to a random issue caused by corruption.
