I think this corrupts the first argument of all valid syscalls.
SC_ARM64_REGS_TO_ARGS uses regs[0] instead of orig_x0. ptrace should be
fine since it calls syscall_get_arguments() which uses orig_x0.

We could change the SC_ARM64_REGS_TO_ARGS macro though (in theory there
shouldn't be any performance hit as it's already cached).
