ARC: Ignore ptrace SETREGSET request for synthetic register "stop_pc" 

commit 5b24282846c064ee90d40fcb3a8f63b8e754fd28 upstream.

ARCompact TRAP_S insn used for breakpoints, commits before exception is
taken (updating architectural PC). So ptregs->ret contains next-PC and
not the breakpoint PC itself. This is different from other restartable
exceptions such as TLB Miss where ptregs->ret has exact faulting PC.
gdb needs to know exact-PC hence ARC ptrace GETREGSET provides for
@stop_pc which returns ptregs->ret vs. EFA depending on the
situation.

However, writing stop_pc (SETREGSET request), which updates ptregs->ret
doesn't makes sense stop_pc doesn't always correspond to that reg as
described above.

This was not an issue so far since user_regs->ret / user_regs->stop_pc
had same value and both writing to ptregs->ret was OK, needless, but NOT
broken, hence not observed.

With gdb "jump", they diverge, and user_regs->ret updating ptregs is
overwritten immediately with stop_pc, which this patch fixes.
