In https://bugs.gentoo.org/769614 Dmitry noticed that
`ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO)` does not work for syscalls called via
glibc's syscall() wrapper.
ia64 has two ways to call syscalls from userspace: via `break` and via
`eps` instructions.
The difference is in stack layout:
1. `eps` creates simple stack frame: no locals, in{0..7} == out{0..8}
2. `break` uses userspace stack frame: may be locals (glibc provides
one), in{0..7} == out{0..8}.
Both work fine in syscall handling cde itself.
But `ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO)` uses unwind mechanism to
re-extract syscall arguments but it does not account for locals.
The change always skips locals registers. It should not change `eps`
path as kernel's handler already enforces locals=0 and fixes `break`.
Tested on v5.10 on rx3600 machine (ia64 9040 CPU).
