ptrace: Introduce exception_ip arch hook

Just to clarify: does that second patch fix the problem that
__isa_exception_epc() does a __get_user()?
Because that mm/memory.c use of "exception_ip()" most definitely
cannot take a page fault.
I reconsidered this issue today and I believe that exception_ip() usage
here won't trigger
page_fault anyway.
Given that exception_ip is guarded by !user_mode(regs), EPC must points
to a kernel
text address. There is no way accessing kernel text will generate such
exception..
Thanks
So if MIPS cannot do that whole exception IP thing without potentially
touching user space, I do worry that we might just have to add a
#ifndef __MIPS__
around this all.
Possibly somehow limited to just the microMIPS/MIPS16e case in Kconfig instead?
