Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Three fixes all related to #DB:

   - Handle the BTF bit correctly so it doesn't get lost due to a kernel
     #DB

   - Only clear and set the virtual DR6 value used by ptrace on user
     space triggered #DB. A kernel #DB must leave it alone to ensure
     data consistency for ptrace.

   - Make the bitmasking of the virtual DR6 storage correct so it does
     not lose DR_STEP"

  x86/debug: Fix DR_STEP vs ptrace_get_debugreg(6)
  x86/debug: Only clear/set ->virtual_dr6 for userspace #DB
