[PATCH 2/3] arm64/ptrace: introduce PTRACE_O_ARM64_RAW_REGS

We have some ABI weirdness in the way that we handle syscall
exit stops because we indicate whether or not the stop has been
signalled from syscall entry or syscall exit by clobbering a general
purpose register (ip/r12 for AArch32, x7 for AArch64) in the tracee
and restoring its old value after the stop.
This behavior was inherited from ARM and it isn't common for other
architectures. Now, we have PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO that gives all
required information about system calls, so the hack with clobbering
registers isn't needed anymore.
This change adds the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_ARM64_RAW_REGS. If it
is set, PTRACE_GETREGSET returns values of all registers without
clobbering r12 or x7 and PTRACE_SETREGSE sets all registers even if a
process has been stopped in syscall-enter or syscall-exit.
