Strictly it's only needed for eax.

It actually does a little more than strictly needed -- the other registers
are already zero extended.

Also remove the now unnecessary and non functional compat task check
in ptrace.

This is CVE-2007-4573

the pwc driver has a disconnect method that waits for user space to
close the device. This opens up an opportunity for a DoS attack,
blocking the USB subsystem and making khubd's task busy wait in
kernel space. This patch shifts freeing resources to close if an opened
device is disconnected.

This patch (as964) was suggested by Steffen Koepf.  It makes
usb_get_descriptor() retry on all errors other than ETIMEDOUT, instead
of only on EPIPE.  This helps with some devices.
