Subject: [PATCH v7 03/11] arm64/ptrace: Refator el0_svc_common()

Compared to the generic entry code, arm64 terminate the process
after report_syscall_exit() if the syscall is issued within
a restartable sequence.

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code,
refactor el0_svc_common() as below:

- Extract syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() to replace the
  the combination of read_thread_flags() and syscall_trace_exit(),
  also move the syscall exit check logic into it.

- Move rseq_syscall() ahead, so the CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ check is
  not needed.

- Move has_syscall_work() helper into asm/syscall.h, which will be
  reused by ptrace.c.
