[PATCH 1/6] ptrace: move clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag to core

While the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU is set in ptrace_resume independent of any
architecture, currently only powerpc and x86 unset the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU
flag in ptrace_disable which gets called from ptrace_detach.

Let's move the clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag to ptrace_detach after
we return from ptrace_disable to ensure there's no change in the flow.
