[PATCH 14/22] introduce PT_SYSCALL_TRACE flag

Currently tracehooks assume that if the ptraced task has
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, the tracee should report the syscall.
This is not true, this thread flag can be set by utrace.

Add the new internal ptrace flag, PT_SYSCALL_TRACE. Change
ptrace_set_syscall_trace() to set/clear this bit along with
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE, change ptrace_report_syscall() to check
this flag instead of PT_PTRACED.
