xen/x86-64: fix breakpoints and hardware watchpoints
Native x86-64 uses the IST mechanism to run int3 and debug traps on
an alternative stack. Xen does not do this, and so the frames were
being misinterpreted by the ptrace code. This change special-cases
these two exceptions by using Xen variants which run on the normal
kernel stack properly.
Impact: avoid crash or bad data when IST trap is invoked under Xen
