Subject: [PATCH -next v6 05/10] arm64/ptrace: Handle ptrace_report_syscall_entry() error

The generic entry handle error of ptrace_report_syscall_entry(), but
arm64 not.

As the comment said, the calling arch code should abort the system
call and must prevent normal entry so no system call is
made if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() return nonzero.

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code,
return early if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() encounters an error.
