[PATCH] uml: use correct register file size everywhere



This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size.
 FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the
ptrace register file size.  MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way
to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be.

When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because
of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file.  The
patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future
problems here.
