PATCH 1/1 FRV debugging fixes

The attached patch fixes three debugging problems in the frv arch:

(1) Single-stepping in userspace steps through into the kernel-mode interrupt handler when a hardware interrupt happens, and sometimes it gets past where the debug-mode handler would normally catch it. This patch extends the range of detected PC values.

(2) When setting up the kernel-mode exception frame from the debug-mode handler for a userspace debugging event, we weren't setting the LR register to generate a return to the exception handler epilogue.

(3) sys_ptrace() now needs to "put" the inferior task_struct not "free" it as was done in 2.4.
