[PATCH] ptrace: Add compat PTRACE_{G,S}ETSIGMASK handlers

compat_ptrace_request() lacks handlers for PTRACE_{G,S}ETSIGMASK,
instead using those in ptrace_request(). The compat variant should
read a compat_sigset_t from userspace instead of ptrace_request()s
sigset_t.

While compat_sigset_t is the same size as sigset_t, it is defined as
2xu32, instead of a single u64. On a big-endian CPU this means that
compat_sigset_t is passed to user-space using middle-endianness,
where the least-significant u32 is written most significant byte
first.

If ptrace_request()s code is used userspace will read the most
significant u32 where it expected the least significant.

Instead of duplicating ptrace_request()s code as a special case in
the arch code, handle it here.
