A colleague of mine (Dave Anderson) noticed that 'strace' was appearing
in the stack traces of processes which had done a system call on alpha
platforms. After some investigation he noticed that alpha's entry.S has
the offset of the task_struct's ptrace field as 104, or right after the
'processor' field. This appears incorrect because the 'ptrace' field is
actually after 'need_resched'. This patch will adjust the definition of
TASK_PTRACE accordingly.
