arm64: Fix syscall restarting around signal suppressed by tracer
Commit 17c2895 ("arm64: Abstract syscallno manipulation") abstracts out the pt_regs.syscallno value for a syscall cancelled by a tracer as NO_SYSCALL, and provides helpers to set and check for this condition. However, the way this was implemented has the unintended side-effect of disabling part of the syscall restart logic. This comes about because the second in_syscall() check in do_signal() re-evaluates the "in a syscall" condition based on the updated pt_regs instead of the original pt_regs. forget_syscall() is explicitly called prior to the second check in order to prevent restart logic in the ret_to_user path being spuriously triggered, which means that the second in_syscall() check always yields false. This triggers a failure in tools/testing/selftests/seccomp/seccomp_bpf.c, when using ptrace to suppress a signal that interrups a nanosleep() syscall. Misbehaviour of this type is only expected in the case where a tracer suppresses a signal and the target process is either being single-stepped or the interrupted syscall attempts to restart via -ERESTARTBLOCK. This patch restores the old behaviour by performing the in_syscall() check only once at the start of the function.
