platform/ptrace: workaround a kernel ptrace issue on ARM64
On ARM64, when ptrace stops on a system call, it uses the x7 register to
indicate whether the stop has been signalled from syscall entry or syscall
exit. This means that we can't get a value of this register and we can't change
it. More details are in the comment for tracehook_report_syscall in
arch/arm64/kernel/ptrace.c.
This happens only if we stop on a system call, so let's queue a signal, resume
a stub thread and catch it on a signal handling.
Fixes: #5238
