I am so glad that this code is gone in -tip. Good riddance!

TIF_SECCOMP had better be set, so that code should be unreachable.

syscall_trace_enter_phase1 returns 0 if we hit SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO (i.e.
SECCOMP_PHASE1_SKIP). syscall_trace_enter sees that and returns
regs->orig_ax, which is -1.

It seems to me that the bug is that sysexit_from_sys_call isn't
reloading RAX from regs->ax.
