Define the kernelrpc_mach_port_construct_trap mach trap

The problem seems to be caused by a call to task_set_special_port with a port constructed with mach_port_construct (handled by kernelrpc_mach_port_construct_trap). The attached patch resolves the issue by implementing the checks in the PRE/POST of this trap.
