Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for
UML. This is the main chunk, additional parts follow. This implementation is
now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all
the previously existing problems.
Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to
the host when appropriate, i.e. immediately when the target process is
running or on context switch otherwise (i.e. on fork and on ptrace() calls).
In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS
does not switches tls_array together with current->mm).
Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does
not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).

Fix the do_fork calling convention: normal arch pass the regs and the new sp
value to do_fork instead of NULL.
Currently the arch-independent code ignores these values, while the UML code
(actually it's copy_thread) gets the right values by itself.
With this patch, things are fixed up.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
