x86: user_regset user-copy helpers

Browse source 
This defines two new inlines in linux/regset.h, for use in arch_ptrace
implementations and the like.  These provide simplified wrappers for using
the user_regset interfaces to copy thread regset data into the caller's
user-space memory.  The inlines are trivial, but make the common uses in
places such as ptrace implementation much more concise, easier to read, and
less prone to code-copying errors.
