Subject: [PATCH v3] powerpc/ptrace: replace ptrace_report_syscall() with a tracehook call

From: "Dmitry V. Levin" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 00:01:39 +0300

From: Elvira Khabirova <[email-masked]>

Arch code should use tracehook_*() helpers as documented
in include/linux/tracehook.h,
ptrace_report_syscall() is not expected to be used outside that file.
