[PATCH v4 3.0-rc2-tip 8/22] 8: x86: architecture specific task information.

On X86_64, we need to support rip relative instructions.
Rip relative instructions are handled by saving the scratch register
on probe hit and then retrieving the previously saved scratch register
after single-step. This value stored at probe hit is specific to each
task. Hence this is implemented as part of uprobe_task_arch_info.

Since x86_32 has no support for rip relative instructions, we dont need to
bother for x86_32.
