Subject: [PATCH 1/2] UML - Improve PTRACE_SYSEMU checking

Make the PTRACE_SYSEMU checking more robust. It will make sure that
system call numbers are reported correctly. If there is a problem, it
will disable PTRACE_SYSEMU use and use PTRACE_SYSCALL instead.

Thanks to Balaji G for helping reproduce this problem.
