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.
