x86: compat_sys_ptrace
This adds a generic definition of compat_sys_ptrace that calls compat_arch_ptrace, parallel to sys_ptrace/arch_ptrace. Some machines needing this already define a function by that name. The new generic function is defined only on machines that put #define __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE into asm/ptrace.h.
