-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>

Make the PTRACE_SYSEMU checking more robust. It will make sure that
system call numbers are reported correctly. If there is a problem, it
will disable PTRACE_SYSEMU use and use PTRACE_SYSCALL instead.

This fixes a hang on boot on FC6 hosts with a broken PTRACE_SYSEMU.
