up to: fb13b11d5387: entry: Respect changes to system call number by trace_sys_enter()

A single fix for the generic entry code:

THe trace_sys_enter() tracepoint can modify the syscall number via
kprobes or BPF in pt_regs, but that requires that the syscall number is
re-evaluted from pt_regs after the tracepoint.

A seccomp fix in that area removed the re-evaluation so the change does
not take effect as the code just uses the locally cached number.

Restore the original behaviour by re-evaluating the syscall number after
the tracepoint.


Thanks,

tglx
