Subject: [PATCH 4.19 039/287] arm64: Do not forget syscall when starting a new thread.

From: Francis Laniel <flaniel@...ux.microsoft.com>

[ Upstream commit de6921856f99c11d3986c6702d851e1328d4f7f6 ]

Enable tracing of the execve*() system calls with the
syscalls:sys_exit_execve tracepoint by removing the call to
forget_syscall() when starting a new thread and preserving the value of
regs->syscallno across exec.
