This patch adds implementation of GET_THREAD_AREA ptrace request type. This
is required by GDB to debug NPTL applications.

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.

This is trickier than prev two:
* context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of
struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height
of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word.
* Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel
stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too.
ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from
user_regs_struct.

This was part of port buildup strategy from Arnd to have a minimal kernel
at first and then add optional features (stacktracing, ptrace, smp,
kprobes, oprofile....)
