[PATCH v4 18/24] ptrace: Allow compat to use the native siginfo

From: Andrew Pinski <apinski at cavium.com>

Set COMPAT_USE_NATIVE_SIGINFO to be true for non AARCH32 tasks.

With ARM64 ILP32 ABI, we want to use the non-compat
siginfo as we want to simplify signal handling for this new ABI.
This patch just adds a new define COMPAT_USE_NATIVE_SIGINFO and
if it is true then read/write in the compat case as it was the
non-compat case.
