I misunderstood. Yes, a0 would be replaced by orig_a0:
syscall_enter_from_user_mode_work ->  syscall_rollback

If the syscall was denied by syscall_enter_from_user_mode(), the
return number is forced to be -ENOSYS. Maybe regs->a0 has already been
updated by SYSCALL_WORK_SECCOMP. eg:

__seccomp_filter() {
...
        case SECCOMP_RET_TRAP:
                /* Show the handler the original registers. */
                syscall_rollback(current, current_pt_regs());
                /* Let the filter pass back 16 bits of data. */
                force_sig_seccomp(this_syscall, data, false);
                goto skip;
