x86/fsgsbase/64: Fix ptrace() to read the FS/GS base accurately
On 64-bit kernels ptrace can read the FS/GS base using the register access APIs (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, etc.) or PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL. Make both of these mechanisms return the actual FS/GS base. This will improve debuggability by providing the correct information to ptracer such as GDB.
