arm64: Better native ptrace support for compat tasks
The compat ptrace interface allows access to the TLS register, hardware breakpoints and watchpoints, syscall number. However, a native task using the native ptrace interface to debug compat tasks (e.g. multi-arch gdb) only has access to the general and VFP register sets. The compat ptrace interface cannot be accessed from a native task. This patch adds a new user_aarch32_ptrace_view which contains the TLS, hardware breakpoint/watchpoint and syscall number regsets in addition to the existing GPR and VFP regsets. This view is backwards compatible with the previous kernels. Core dumping of 32-bit tasks and compat ptrace are not affected since the original user_aarch32_view is preserved.
