ptrace: Provide set/get interface for syscall user dispatch
The syscall user dispatch configuration can only be set by the task itself,
but lacks a ptrace set/get interface which makes it impossible to implement
checkpoint/restore for it.
Add the required ptrace requests and the get/set functions in the syscall
user dispatch code to make that possible.
