[PATCH 1/3] arm64/ptrace: don't clobber task registers on syscall entry/exit traps

[Andrei Vagin <avagin@gmail.com>]

ip/r12 for AArch32 and x7 for AArch64 is used to indicate whether or not
the stop has been signalled from syscall entry or syscall exit. This
means that:

- Any writes by the tracer to this register during the stop are
  ignored/discarded.

- The actual value of the register is not available during the stop,
  so the tracer cannot save it and restore it later.

Right now, these registers are clobbered in tracehook_report_syscall.
This change moves the logic to gpr_get and compat_gpr_get where
registers are copied into a user-space buffer.

This will allow to change these registers and to introduce a new
ptrace option to get the full set of registers.
