I've got more feedback from Michael about this.  A better approach would be
having a new show_user_instructions(), a slightly modified version of
show_instructions(), that can be called from within show_signal_msg().

Since _exception_pkey() dies if the exception is in kernel mode, we'll be
safe to call the new show_user_instructions(), without interfering in
scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh.
