ptrace: change signature of sys_ptrace() and friends
Since userspace API of ptrace syscall defines @addr and @data as void pointers, it would be more appropriate to define them as unsigned long in kernel. Therefore related functions are changed also. 'unsigned long' is typically used in other places in kernel as an opaque data type and that using this helps cleaning up a lot of warnings from sparse.
