Subject: [PATCH 2/5] arm64: entry: introduce restore_syscall_args macro

Syscall arguments are passed in registers x0..x7. If assembler
code has to call C functions before passing control to syscall
handler, it should restore original state of that registers
after the call.

Currently, syscall arguments restoring is opencoded in el0_svc_naked
and __sys_trace. This patch introduces restore_syscall_args macro to
use it there.

Also, parameter 'syscall = 0' is removed from ct_user_exit to make
el0_svc_naked call restore_syscall_args explicitly. This is needed
because the following patch of the series adds another call to C
function in el0_svc_naked, and restoring of syscall args becomes not
only a matter of ct_user_exit.
