x86: ptrace: Add function argument access API
Add regs_get_argument() which returns N th argument of the function call. Note that this chooses most probably assignment, in some case it can be incorrect (e.g. passing data structure or floating point etc.) This is expected to be called from kprobes or ftrace with regs where the top of stack is the return address.
