Subject: [PATCH 11/14] uml: work around broken host PTRACE_SYSEMU

>From f1ef9167ca4494a8c6d71d0031c73e9c8841eadd

Fedora broke PTRACE_SYSEMU again, and UML crashes as a result when it
doesn't need to. This patch makes the PTRACE_SYSEMU check fail gracefully
and makes UML fall back to PTRACE_SYSCALL.
