[RFC/PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Allow ptrace write to pt_regs trap and orig_r3

This patch allows a ptracer to write to the "trap" and "orig_r3" words
of the pt_regs.
This, along with a subsequent patch to the signal restart code, should
enable gdb to properly handle syscall restarting after executing a separate
function (at least when there's no restart block).
This patch also removes ptrace32.c code toying directly with the registers
and makes it use the ptrace_get/put_reg() accessors for everything so that
the logic for checking what is permitted is in only one place.
