[PATCH v4 05/12] ptrace: Remove arch_ptrace_attach

[Eric W. Biederman]

The last remaining implementation of arch_ptrace_attach is ia64's
ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs which was added at the end of 2007 in
commit aa91a2e90044 ("[IA64] Synchronize RBS on PTRACE_ATTACH").

Reading the comments and examining the code ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs
has the sole purpose of saving registers to the stack when ptrace_attach
changes TASK_STOPPED to TASK_TRACED.  In all other cases arch_ptrace_stop
takes care of the register saving.

In commit d79fdd6d96f4 ("ptrace: Clean transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED")
modified ptrace_attach to wake up the thread and enter ptrace_stop normally even
when the thread starts out stopped.

This makes ptrace_attach_sync_user_rbs completely unnecessary.  So just
remove it.
