Unlike powepc, x86 always calls tracehook_report_syscall_exit(step) with step = 0, and sends the trap by hand. This results in unnecessary SIGTRAP when PTRACE_SINGLESTEP follows the syscall-exit stop. Change syscall_trace_leave() to pass the correct "step" argument to tracehook and remove the send_sigtrap() logic.
