[IA64] Synchronize RBS on PTRACE_ATTACH
When attaching to a stopped process, the RSE must be explicitly synced to user-space, so the debugger can read the correct values. Signed-off-by: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz> CC: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
