Subject: [PATCH] ia64: fix user_stack_pointer() for ptrace()

ia64 has two stacks:
- memory stack (or stack), pointed at by by r12
- register backing store (register stack), pointed at
  ar.bsp/ar.bspstore with complications around dirty
  register frame on CPU.

In https://bugs.gentoo.org/769614 Dmitry noticed that
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO returns register stack instead
memory stack.

The bug comes from the fact that user_stack_pointer() and
current_user_stack_pointer() don't return the same register:

  ulong user_stack_pointer(struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs->ar_bspstore; }
  #define current_user_stack_pointer() (current_pt_regs()->r12)

The change gets both back in sync.

I think ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO) is the only affected user
by this bug on ia64.

The change fixes 'rt_sigreturn.gen.test' strace test where
it was observed initially.
