task_user_regset_view() is fundamentally broken, but it's ABI for PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET.
We shouldn't be using it for PTRACE_GETREGS or PTRACE_SETREGS, though. A native 64-bit ptrace() call and an x32 ptrace() call should use the 64-bit regset views, and a 32-bit ptrace() call (native or compat) should use the 32-bit regset. task_user_regset_view() almost does this except that it will malfunction if a ptracer is itself ptraced and the outer ptracer modifies CS on entry to a ptrace() syscall. Hopefully that has never happened. (The compat ptrace() code already hardcoded the 32-bit regset, so this patch has no effect on that path.)
Fix it and deobfuscate the code by hardcoding the 64-bit view in the x32 ptrace() and selecting the view based on the kernel config in the native ptrace().

Every time I look at ptrace, it grosses me out. This makes it slightly more comprehensible.
