Subject: x86_64: PTRACE_[GS]ET_THREAD_AREA should be accepted

This patch backports from 2.6.19 a fix to a 2.6.18 regression.

Like for PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS, we should fix PTRACE_[GS]ET_THREAD_AREA. This had
been done already for 2.6.19, so this is for 2.6.18-stable only.
This was tested with UML/32bit as API consumer, both before and after this
patch.
