x86/fred: Allow single-step trap and NMI when starting a new task
Entering a new task is logically speaking a return from a system call
(exec, fork, clone, etc.). As such, if ptrace enables single stepping
a single step exception should be allowed to trigger immediately upon
entering user space. This is not optional.
NMI should *never* be disabled in user space. As such, this is an
optional, opportunistic way to catch errors.
Allow single-step trap and NMI when starting a new task, thus once
the new task enters user space, single-step trap and NMI are both
enabled immediately.
