From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace.  We use
force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer
down to the function.  I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct,
but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before
commiting :)
