Fix spurious syscall tracing after PTRACE_DETACH + PTRACE_ATTACH

When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task.  This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL.  This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done.  The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.

A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug.  On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.

Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.
