I tested the below change with my patch. On x86_64, both 64bit and 32bit
program can be uprobe emulated properly. On x86_32, however, there is a
compilation error like below:

In function ‘check_copy_size’,
inlined from ‘copy_to_user’ at
/home/yhs/work/tip/include/linux/uaccess.h:154:6,
inlined from ‘emulate_push_stack.isra.9’ at
/home/yhs/work/tip/arch/x86/kernel/uprobes.c:535:6:
/home/yhs/work/tip/include/linux/thread_info.h:139:4: error: call to
‘__bad_copy_from’ declared with attribute error: copy source size is too
small
__bad_copy_from();

Basically, test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) returns 0 on x86_32 system.
