3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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().
