ARM: 8087/1: ptrace: reload syscall number after secure_computing() check



On the syscall tracing path, we call out to secure_computing() to allow
seccomp to check the syscall number being attempted. As part of this, a
SIGTRAP may be sent to the tracer and the syscall could be re-written by
a subsequent SET_SYSCALL ptrace request. Unfortunately, this new syscall
is ignored by the current code unless TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is also set on
the current thread.

This patch slightly reworks the enter path of the syscall tracing code
so that we always reload the syscall number from
current_thread_info()->syscall after the potential ptrace traps.
