[PATCH] powerpc/ptrace: Use copy_{from, to}_user() rather than open-coding

From: Al Viro <viro at ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
In PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO and PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG we do an
access_ok() check and then __copy_{from,to}_user().
Instead we should just use copy_{from,to}_user() which does all that
for us and is less error prone.
