Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] arm64: ptrace: Add is_syscall_success to handle compat

The general version of is_syscall_success does not handle 32-bit
compatible case, which would cause 32-bit negative return code to be
recoganized as a positive number later and seen as a "success".

Since syscall_get_return_value is defined in syscall.h, implementing
is_syscall_success in ptrace.h would introduce build failure due to
recursive inclusion of some basic headers like mutex.h. Let's put the
implementation to ptrace.c
