Subject: [PATCH] riscv: entry: always initialize regs->a0 to -ENOSYS

Otherwise when the tracer changes syscall number to -1, the kernel fails
to initialize a0 with -ENOSYS and subsequently fails to return the error
code of the failed syscall to userspace. For example, it will break
strace syscall tampering.

Fixes: 52449c17bdd1 ("riscv: entry: set a0 = -ENOSYS only when syscall != -1")
