[PATCH] arm: ptrace: Fix mask for thumb breakpoint hook

[Fredrik Strupe <fredrik@strupe.net>]

Since instr_mask in struct undef_hook is 32 bits wide, a mask with value
0xffff will essentially be extended to 0x0000ffff. This makes undefined
thumb2 instructions with the second half-word as 0xde01 generate SIGTRAPs
instead of SIGILLs.

This happens in total for 3143 instructions on my system. An example
of such an instruction is e800de01.

This patch fixes the issue by extending the mask to the full 32 bits,
such that both half-words have to be matched. This will remove all of
the accidental matchings, as 0x0000 is not a valid thumb2 prefix, while
preserving the intended thumb hook.
