Apparently, the patchset merged by commit v5.9-rc1~100^2~164 was
incomplete: all functions defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/ptrace.h and
arch/powerpc/include/asm/syscall.h that use ccr are broken when scv is used.
This includes syscall_get_error() and all its users including
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO API, which in turn makes strace unusable
when scv is used.
