Subject: [PATCH v5 23/25] powerpc/ptrace: replace ptrace_report_syscall()
 with a tracehook call

From: Elvira Khabirova <lineprinter@...linux.org>

Arch code should use tracehook_*() helpers, as documented
in include/linux/tracehook.h,
ptrace_report_syscall() is not expected to be used outside that file.

The patch does not look very nice, but at least it is correct
and opens the way for PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

Notes:
    v5: reverted to a simple approach, compile- and run-tested
    v4: rewritten to call tracehook_report_syscall_entry() once, compile-tested
    v3: add a descriptive comment
    v2: explicitly ignore tracehook_report_syscall_entry() return code
