[PATCH v17 11/15] arm64: syscall: Simplify el0_svc_common() syscall exit path

[Jinjie Ruan]

Remove the redundant nested conditional check within the system call
exit path of el0_svc_common() to streamline the exit sequence.

When entering this fast-path block, CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ is guaranteed to be
disabled so the call of rseq_syscall() is a no-op. Under this constraint,
the code logic inside the block becomes completely identical to what
the arm64_syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() helper already does. Replace
that nested logic with a direct invocation of the helper, eliminating
redundant code.

Before:

| if (... && !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ)) {
| 	flags = read_thread_flags();
| 	if (unlikely(flags & _TIF_SYSCALL_EXIT_WORK) || flags & _TIF_SINGLESTEP)
| 		arm64_syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(regs);
| 	return;
| }
| trace_exit:
|	arm64_syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(regs);

After simplify:

| if (... && !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ)) {
|	arm64_syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(regs);
|	return;
| }
| trace_exit:
|	arm64_syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(regs);

Furthermore, Since both the conditional fast-path and the fallback
slow-path now uniformly invoke arm64_syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work(),
this explicit conditional branch is entirely redundant regardless of
whether the evaluation is true or false. Removing it collapses
the duplicated logic into a single, unconditional path.

No functional changes.
