[PATCH 2/3 RESEND] ptrace: cleanup address space conversion on ptrace_request()

[Namhyung Kim]

In some cases 'data' should be considered as a user pointer but it requires
cast with additional __force markup which was missing. Rather than add the
markups wherever needed, make use of a temporary variable of user pointer.
This patch is based on compat_ptrace_request() implementation.
