[PATCH] UML - Improve host PTRACE_SYSEMU check
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.
