x86 single_step: TIF_FORCED_TF
This changes the single-step support to use a new thread_info flag
TIF_FORCED_TF instead of the PT_DTRACE flag in task_struct.ptrace.
This keeps arch implementation uses out of this non-arch field.
This changes the ptrace access to eflags to mask TF and maintain
the TIF_FORCED_TF flag directly if userland sets TF, instead of
relying on ptrace_signal_deliver. The 64-bit and 32-bit kernels
are harmonized on this same behavior. The ptrace_signal_deliver
approach works now, but this change makes the low-level register
access code reliable when called from different contexts than a
ptrace stop, which will be possible in the future.
The 64-bit do_debug exception handler is also changed not to clear TF
from user-mode registers. This matches the 32-bit kernel's behavior.
