Subject: ptrace/x86: Introduce set_task_blockstep() helper
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 848e8f5f0ad3169560c516fff6471be65f76e69f upstream.
No functional changes, preparation for the next fix and for uprobes
single-step fixes.
Move the code playing with TIF_BLOCKSTEP/DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF into the
new helper, set_task_blockstep().
