[POWERPC] Ensure FULL_REGS on exec
When PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is used, a ptrace call to fetch the registers at
the PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop (PTRACE_PEEKUSR) will oops in CHECK_FULL_REGS.
With recent versions, "gdb --args /bin/sh -c 'exec /bin/true'" and "run" at
the (gdb) prompt is sufficient to produce this. I also have written an
isolated test case, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=301791#c15.
This change fixes the problem by clearing the low bit of pt_regs.trap in
start_thread so that FULL_REGS is true again. This is correct since all of
the GPRs that "full" refers to are cleared in start_thread.
