Subject: [PATCH v4] riscv: entry: set a0 = -ENOSYS only when syscall != -1

When we test seccomp with 6.4 kernel, we found errno has wrong value.
If we deny NETLINK_AUDIT with EAFNOSUPPORT, after f0bddf50586d, we will
get ENOSYS instead. We got same result with commit 9c2598d43510 ("riscv: entry:
Save a0 prior syscall_enter_from_user_mode()").

After analysing code, we think that regs->a0 = -ENOSYS should only be executed
when syscall != -1 In __seccomp_filter, when seccomp rejected this syscall with
specified errno, they will set a0 to return number as syscall ABI, and then
return -1. This return number is finally pass as return number of
syscall_enter_from_user_mode, and then is compared with NR_syscalls after
converted to ulong (so it will be ULONG_MAX). The condition
syscall < NR_syscalls will always be false, so regs->a0 = -ENOSYS is always
executed. It covered a0 set by seccomp, so we always get ENOSYS when match
seccomp RET_ERRNO rule.

Fixes: f0bddf50586d ("riscv: entry: Convert to generic entry")

v3 -> v4: use long instead of ulong to reduce type cast and avoid
          implementation-defined behavior, and make the judgment of syscall
          invalid more explicit
v2 -> v3: use if-statement instead of set default value,
          clarify the type of syscall
v1 -> v2: added explanation on why always got ENOSYS
