Subject: [PATCH v11 08/14] arm64/ptrace: Use syscall_get_arguments() helper

The generic entry check audit context first and use
syscall_get_arguments() helper.

In order to switch to the generic entry for arm64,

- Also use syscall_get_arguments() to get audit_syscall_entry()'s
  last four parameters.

- Extract the syscall_enter_audit() helper to make it clear.

- Check audit context first, which saves an unnecessary memcpy when
  current process's audit_context is NULL.

Overall these changes make syscall_enter_audit() exactly equivalent
to the generic one.

No functional changes.
