Subject: [PATCH 3/14] arm: use generic ptrace_resume code

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which
also causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which
could be considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL
which it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens
if the tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all
architectures using the modern ptrace code.
