[ Upstream commit 07e1d88ada ]
On 64-bit kernels ptrace can read the FS/GS base using the register access
APIs (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, etc.) or PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL.
Make both of these mechanisms return the actual FS/GS base.
This will improve debuggability by providing the correct information
to ptracer such as GDB.
