Setting TS_COMPAT in ptrace is wrong: if we happen to do it during
syscall entry, then we'll confuse seccomp and audit. (The former
isn't a security problem: seccomp is currently entirely insecure if a
malicious ptracer is attached.) As a minimal fix, this patch adds a
new flag TS_I386_REGS_POKED that handles the ptrace special case.

This is identical to v3 except that I added Oleg's ack and I split
it out from the rest of the series. The other patches need some work
before I'll be fully comfortable with them.
This will have a trivial conflict with -mm.
