task_current_syscall

This adds the new function task_current_syscall() on machines where the
asm/syscall.h interface is supported (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK).  It's
exported for modules to use in the future.  This function safely samples
the state of a blocked thread to collect what system call it is blocked
in, and the six system call argument registers.

/**
* task_current_syscall - Discover what a blocked task is doing.
* @target: thread to examine
* @callno: filled with system call number or -1
* @args: filled with @maxargs system call arguments
* @maxargs: number of elements in @args to fill
* @sp: filled with user stack pointer
* @pc: filled with user PC
*
* If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with *@callno
* set to the the call's number and @args filled in with its arguments.
* Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available and
* it is not kosher to use &struct user_regset calls while the system
* call is still in progress. Note we may get this result if @target
* has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such
* as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
*
* If @target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception,
* returns zero with *@callno set to -1 and does not fill in @args.
* If so, it's now safe to examine @target using &struct user_regset
* get() calls as long as we're sure @target won't return to user mode.
*
* Returns -%EAGAIN if @target does not remain blocked.
*
* Returns -%EINVAL if @maxargs is too large (maximum is six).
