In CRIU, we just define it to a correct value (and do not include 
linux/ptrace.h
as there can be conflicts between sys/ptrace.h and kernel/ptrace.h; in fact
there is one in musl libc).

Would be good for glibc headers to provide the value though.

Thanks! I can send v2, but am not sure if I should, as it is minor
and the patch is already ack'ed.
