I had sent a patch that introduced a new syscall nr, but it's not
quite safe because it could break seccomp-using programs.  But your
patch here is also screwy.

How about we store the syscall arch to be restored in task_struct
along with restart_block?  It's not perfect, but it should be 99% of
the way there without heuristics as nasty as yours.

P.S. __USER32_CS is the wrong check even if we used your approach.
user_64bit_regs() is much better.
