Subject: x86: minor cleanup for ptrace_32/64

commit abd7e7b7e05f8af290e7a7e6c5f3cbb57192523a
Author: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@...putergmbh.de>
Date:   Tue Jan 15 03:31:39 2008 +0100

    x86: minor cleanup
    
    - let get_stack_long from ptrace_32 use long (not int) for consistency
    - make put_stack_long() return void (return value not used anywhere)
    - add const keyword to args
