From: Elvira Khabirova <lineprinter at altlinux.org>
Arch code should use tracehook_*() helpers, as documented
in include/linux/tracehook.h,
ptrace_report_syscall() is not expected to be used outside that file.
The patch does not look very nice, but at least it is correct
and opens the way for PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO API.
