The bits single_step and instruction_fetch lost their meaning
with git commit 5e9a26928f "[S390] ptrace cleanup".
Clarify the comment for these two bits.

The PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK option is used to get control whenever
the inferior has executed a successful branch. The PER option to
implement block stepping is successful-branching event, bit 32
in the PER-event mask.

Fix the following bugs:
- When returning from a signal the signal handler copies the saved psw mask
from user space and uses parts of it. Especially it restores the RI bit
unconditionally. If however the machine doesn't support RI, or RI is
disabled for the task, the last lpswe instruction which returns to user
space will generate a specification exception.
To fix this check if the RI bit is allowed to be set and kill the task
if not.
- In the compat mode signal handler code the RI bit of the psw mask gets
propagated to the mask of the return psw: if user space enables RI in the
signal handler, RI will also be enabled after the signal handler is
finished.
This is a different behaviour than with 64 bit tasks. So change this to
match the 64 bit semantics, which restores the original RI bit value.
- Fix similar oddities within the ptrace code as well.

The FPC_VALID_MASK has been used to check the validity of the value
to be loaded into the floating-point-control register. With the
introduction of the floating-point extension facility and the
decimal-floating-point additional bits have been defined which need
to be checked in a non straight forward way. So far these bits have
been ignored which can cause an incorrect results for decimal-
floating-point operations, e.g. an incorrect rounding mode to be
set after signal return.
The static check with the FPC_VALID_MASK is replaced with a trial
load of the floating-point-control value, see test_fp_ctl.
In addition an information leak with the padding word between the
floating-point-control word and the floating-point registers in
the s390_fp_regs is fixed.

The patch implements a s390 specific ptrace request
PTRACE_TE_ABORT_RAND to modify the randomness of spontaneous
aborts of memory transactions of the transaction execution
facility. The data argument of the ptrace request is used to
specify the levels of randomness, 0 for normal operation, 1 to
abort every transaction at a random instruction, and 2 to abort
a random transaction at a random instruction. The default is 0
for normal operation.

The compat definitions are not part of the uapi. So move them to
s390's private compat header file.

If user space is running in primary mode it can switch to secondary
or access register mode, this is used e.g. in the clock_gettime code
of the vdso. If a signal is delivered to the user space process while
it has been running in access register mode the signal handler is
executed in access register mode as well which will result in a crash
most of the time.
Set the address space control bits in the PSW to the default for the
execution of the signal handler and make sure that the previous
address space control is restored on signal return. Take care
that user space can not switch to the kernel address space by
modifying the registers in the signal frame.
