arm64: ptrace: allow tracer to skip a system call
If tracer modifies a syscall number to -1, this traced system call should
be skipped with a return value specified in x0.
This patch implements this semantics.
Please note:
* syscall entry tracing and syscall exit tracing (ftrace tracepoint and
audit) are always executed, if enabled, even when skipping a system call
(that is, -1).
In this way, we can avoid a potential bug where audit_syscall_entry()
might be called without audit_syscall_exit() at the previous system call
being called, that would cause OOPs in audit_syscall_entry().
