From: Guo Ren <ren_guo@xxxxxxxxx> The function of do_notify_resume called by entry.S could be entered in loop when SIGPENDING was setted again before sret. So we must add prevent code to make syscall restart (regs->sepc -= 0x4) or it may re-execute unexpected instructions. Just like in_syscall & forget_syscall used by arm.
