Subject: [PATCH v11 05/14] arm64/ptrace: Not check _TIF_SECCOMP/SYSCALL_EMU for syscall_exit_work()

As syscall_exit_work() do not handle seccomp, so not check _TIF_SECCOMP
for syscall_exit_work().

And as the man manual of PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP
said, "For PTRACE_SYSEMU, continue and stop on entry to the next system
call, which will not be executed. For PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, do the same
but also singlestep if not a system call.". So only the syscall entry need
to be reported for SYSCALL_EMU, so not check _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU for
syscall_exit_work().

After this, audit_syscall_exit() and report_syscall_exit() will
no longer be called if only SECCOMP and/or SYSCALL_EMU is set.

And remove has_syscall_work() by the way as currently it is only used in
el0_svc_common().

This is another preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic
entry code.
