parisc: improve ptrace support for gdb single-step

Various GCC tests use gdb to simulate a multithreaded application. Many of
these tests have been failing on parisc linux.

GCC does this by using gdb to single-step the application, then gdb is used to
call other test specific code. Where this fails is when the application is
stepped into the delay slot of a taken branch. This sets the PSW B bit. When
the test specific code is executed, this usually clears the PSW B bit.
Currently, gdb is not allowed to set the B bit. So, the code falls through what
should be a taken branch.

The attached patch adds the PSW B bit to the set of bits that gdb is allowed to
set. In order to set the B bit, the trace system call must return using an
interrupt restore. The patch also modifies this code to use the saved IAOQ
values when they are saved by a ptrace syscall or interruption.
