The implementation of syscall_get_nr on mips used to ignore the task
argument and return the syscall number of the calling thread instead of
the target thread.
The bug was exposed to user space by commit 201766a20e30f ("ptrace: add
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request") and detected by strace test suite.

Fixes: c2d9f1775731 ("MIPS: Fix syscall_get_nr for the syscall exit tracing.")
