    x86, bts: add fork and exit handling · bf53de90

    Impact: introduce new ptrace facility
    
    Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer
    detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies);
    ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach.
    
    Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a
    traced task is forked.
    
    Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork.
    
    Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This
    releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do
    that when the traced task dies.
