Subject: [PATCH v4 07/12] s390/ptrace: Convert function macros to inline functions

Convert the function macros user_mode(), instruction_pointer(), and
user_stack_pointer() to inline functions, to align their definition
with x86 and arm64.

Use const qualifier on struct pt_regs pointer parameters to prevent
compiler warnings:

arch/s390/kernel/stacktrace.c: In function ‘arch_stack_walk_user_common’:
arch/s390/kernel/stacktrace.c:114:34: warning: passing argument 1 of
‘instruction_pointer’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target
type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
...
arch/s390/kernel/stacktrace.c:117:48: warning: passing argument 1 of
‘user_stack_pointer’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target
type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
...

While at it add const qualifier to all struct pt_regs pointer parameters
that are accessed read-only and use __always_inline instead of inline to
harmonize the helper functions.

[hca@...ux.ibm.com: Use psw_bits() helper]

Notes (jremus):
    Changes in v4:
    - New patch.  Split out "while at it" changes from patch "s390/ptrace:
      Provide frame_pointer()" to go upstream separately. (Heiko)
