Kernel: Disable big process lock for sys$get_stack_bounds

Browse source 
This syscall only reads from the shared m_space field, but that field
is only over written to by Process::attach_resources, before the
process was initialized (aka, before syscalls can happen), by
Process::finalize which is only called after all the process' threads
have exited (aka, syscalls can not happen anymore), and by
Process::do_exec which calls all other syscall-capable threads before
doing so. Space's find_region_containing already holds its own lock,
and as such there's no need to hold the big lock.
