Suggested by Roland.

Change tracehook_report_syscall_exit() to look at step flag and send
the trap signal if needed.

This change affects ia64, microblaze, parisc, powerpc, sh.  They pass
nonzero "step" argument to tracehook but since it was ignored the tracee
reports via ptrace_notify(), this is not right and not consistent.

	- PTRACE_SETSIGINFO doesn't work

	- if the tracer resumes the tracee with signr != 0 the new signal
	  is generated rather than delivering it

	- If PT_TRACESYSGOOD is set the tracee reports the wrong exit_code

I don't have a powerpc machine, but I think this test-case should
see the difference:

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>
	#include <stdio.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		if (!(pid = fork())) {
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) == 0);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);

			getppid();

			return 0;
		}

		assert(pid == wait(&status));
		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD) == 0);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(pid == wait(&status));

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(pid == wait(&status));

		if (status == 0x57F)
			return 0;

		printf("kernel bug: status=%X shouldn't have 0x80\n", status);
		return 1;
	}
